What's a chocolate chunk cookie?  A Toll House cookie with chunks of chocolate
instead of chips? A chocolate cookie with chunks?

David's Cookies started about 5 or 6 years ago in NYC, I believe.  Instead of
chocolate chips, David's uses chunks of imported European chocolate broken
into pieces about 2 or 3 times the size of Nestle's chocolate morsels.
Only fresh, natural ingredients are supposed to be used -- lots of butter,
fine imported chocolate, nuts, cream and or milk, etc.
They come in a variety of flavors - chocolate-chocolate chunk, pecan chocolate
chunk, etc.  I found that once it became a franchise, the quality of many of
the David's stores was not up to par with the first shops opened in NYC.

David Greenberg (I think that's his name) printed some of his cookie recipes
a few years ago in the Daily News, and was supposed to come out with a cookie
cookbook.  I haven't seen it to date.
