The controversy has divided California’s gourmands and left the state’s most prominent chefs with a difficult decision: Obey the law and lose a favorite dish of high-end diners, or fight it and risk fines of up to $1,000 a day—and the wrath of protesters. Laurent Quenioux, visiting chef at Starry Kitchen in Los Angeles, has already made up his mind: “They can send me the foie gras police.”

Thoughts?

It's not the law places have to worry about it's the protestors. I remember when I went to Cyrus I could still see some faint red paint defacing the front of the place as we entered and I also heard a protestor had actually punched Keane within the last few weeks as he entered the place.

Nah, the protestor (technically not a he, a legal transsexual) punched one of my coworkers, but not Keane. That led to the restraining order. It was fun times.


And mgm, this is old news, brah. Some of us knew about this back when you were hitting puberty.

All part of the People's Republic of California where they save us from ourselves. I don't eat Foie Gras that often, but I'd at least like the option to do so. But I guess I can go get it when I travel still.

Santa Monica recently banned paper bags as a free giveaway. They charge a dime for each of them now which isn't that big of a deal. Kind of lame, even at farmer's markets.

Good its horrible.

Edit to say it tastes horrible, you can get fake Foie Gras which I've been told tastes exactly the same.
