[dropcap size=big]F[/dropcap]irst, let's get the puns out of the way. Less is s'more. S'more than you know. A sight for s'more eyes. Gotta have s'more. That last pun though. Gotta Have S'more is not just a play on words. It's the name of, as far as I can tell, the world’s first shop dedicated totally to s'mores.
The bakery just opened on Fairfax Avenue in Little Ethiopia. Now the campy confection will take its place alongside restaurants more known for serving up East African delicacies such as wat and injera.
The menu at Gotta Have S’more includes salted caramel s’mores, Mexican hot chocolate s’mores, Nutella s’mores and more. At the gooey center of the new restaurant is chef-owner Annalisa Johnson. Opening a brick-and-mortar store is the culmination of a culinary career that started off at Taco Bell.
“It feels like magic,” she tells me on the shop’s recent opening day.
