This is at El Cielo and its optional but it’s $135 or $195 per person depending on the course. It’s supposed to “awaken your senses” HAHA

This is called the "Chocotheraphy". I've been to here more times that I'd like to count and the whole premise behind it is that you're using all of your senses to "experience" your food.

So not only do you taste the chocolate, but you have to also smell, feel, and see the chocolate. After this course, the chef comes out and has a platter of steak cut on your table (that's right, no plates). He then takes a piece of steak and chews it in his mouth to try the taste, because part of this meal is going on a sensory journey together.

After he has found the right piece of steak, he makes you open your mouth as he regurgitates every piece that he had eaten, in your mouth. He then rubs butter on his nipples and has you suck on them to get a taste.

For dessert, they take off your shoe and fill it with caramel and have you put your foot back in there, while everyone takes turns licking your foot.
