I love that Hot's Kitchen joint in Hermosa Beach good tacos, sliders and beers, my go to daytime weekend date spot. Will order some if its back on the menu at the Steakhouse I'm going to. woo woo. edit: its all of California. woo woo. even better!
I guess I was just wondering about the difference in foie gras' cruelty to animals and wagyu and other methods of making meat products tasty for human consumption. Force-feeding a duck is illegal and immoral, but cutting a chicken's beak off so that it doesn't damage the meat of the other 1000 chickens you have packed into a shed is ok?
The disgustingly sick things some people have no problem being a part of. Eating foie gras is every bit as bad as betting on dog fights.
What if you order a steak with it on it, should you order no foie? What if in your lifetime you only eat an amount of foie gras equivalent to a non Inhumanely handled gooses liver, does that make it okay? I'm not try trying to be snarky. These questions are meant to be taken seriously.
I really really want to try pressed duck. Basically they put the cooked duck with all the organs in it and crunch it up in this little metal press and all the organ juices form a sauce.
The two most interesting dishes I've had involving Foie Gras is a Foie Gras loco moco, which was at restaurant called "Animal" that uses more obscure meats you've probably never heard of. Didn't really like it, too gimmicky. There's a place here that does a Foie Gras cotton candy, which is just fucking awesome. Foie always pairs well with something sweet, so its a perfect combo, and the difference in textures is great.
I like it seared the best. I had a Foie Gras burger at Delmonico's in Vegas over the summer which was, by far, the best burger I've ever had in my life (and I fancy myself as a burger guy). They mixed the foie into the patty as well as a seared piece to accompany it. Just insanely good. Not a fan of the terrine or torchon of foie gras as much (spreadable versions).
