Does this mean that chef Trotter now has to eat chef Tramonto's liver?  or was it the other way around....

With some chianti and favas? :raz:

One can only hope that Hot Doug's takes this opportunity to goose (pun fully intended) Joe Moore by hosing something like a week-long foie-dog exraviganza.

I certainly hope that Hot Doug's puts the Joe Moore back on the menu. That was a delish dog!

Even though I was lucky enough to get some "free" foie on my last trip to Chicago, I'm wondering what restaurants are really going all-out with the ingredient since the ban has been lifted. I want to get my foie on. Bigtime. Any suggestions?

Sweets & Savories hosted a special foie gras dinner on May 22 (I couldn't be there :angry: ) for $75 pp. (I haven't seen any reports here or on LTH yet. Anyone...?) Chef Richards is pretty accommodating, so I'm wondering he'd put together a foie tasting menu if you and perhaps three others request it far enough in advance. Worth a try...

Well, I am personally happy to see the ban reversed. Bring on the foie! Any ideas where I can find some foie-tastic menus are well appreciated. (I won't probably have enough fellow foie-gulleters with me for the Sweets and Savories idea, but thanks Alex!)

Hi everyone..I wanted to let everyone know about a Foie Gras Wine Dinner at Le Lan on Tuesday the 9th of September. Below is the menu:

Foie Gras Torchon

Tuna, Watermelon, Seaweed Salad, Soy-Balsamic

Seared Foie Gras

Bay Scallops, Pea Shoots, Yuzu-Truffle Vinaigrette

Foie Gras Dumplings

Tea Smoked Quail, Poached Figs, Foie Gras Sauce

Foie Gras Crème Brulee Berries

Also does anyone know of a steakhouse in Chicago that puts seared foie on the steak. I had it at Prime 112 in South Beach and it is the right way to eat a steak...I can only say WOW! If you know of one please let me know...I am craving it big time!

David Burke's Primehouse has foie gras on the appetizer menu and offers a foie gras and truffle sauce for their steaks, so I suspect they can prepare the combo however you like.
