foie gras is back in town
Vive La Foie Gras!
(this is an old photo I did for Chicagoist)
The foie gras ban has finally been repealed. Big thank you’s go out to my out and proud Alderman Tom Tunney who helped raise the repeal along with support from Alderman Stone and Alderman Mitts. This is a wonderfully comic story of the city presiding over what we should eat, and I’m thankful the matter is laid to rest.
Take that Alderman Moore *SNAP*
I can’t wait for the city restaurants to start creating foie gras tasting menus. I’m dreaming of a sizzling slab of foie atop a mini-burger, or in some risotto with truffles, or covered in a sticky sweet cherry sauce, or skewered with chunks of marinated lamb kebob style, or in a confit with apricots and almonds, or on a cracker with brie and smoky maldon, or inside of a veal meatball, or in one of Hot Doug’s dogs, or seared and cubed with pickled green onions in dashi (like it were tofu in miso soup), or… oh man, the list is endless.
Vive La Foie Gras!
