Created by chef Brandon Olsen of the ever-expanding CXBO empire, the Disco Egg (otherwise known as "Ziggy Stardust") was also made available last Easter in a kids version, boasting gummy worms, jelly beans and aerated milk chocolate inside. The paint splattered Disco Egg by CXBO can be enjoyed in Toronto one of two ways: as a dessert item at Chef Brandon Olsen's Ossington Street restaurant, La Banane, or at-home, available for purchase in limited quantities at any of the [Chef's Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exclusive-inflight-meals) by Brandon Olsen shops, located around the city.
