Foie Gras War: Eat Foie Gras in Chicago - Ban Repealed

By JULIETTE ROSSANT Super Chef has just learned that the Chicago City Council repealed its ban on the sale of foie gras today. Here is an email from Ariane Daguin of D'Artagnan: Dear Friend of Foie Gras, There will be much rejoicing today, as chefs in all the best restaurants of the country celebrate the repeal of the foie gras ban in Chicago. Passing 37-6, the repeal of the ban is a 21st century equivalent to the repeal on Prohibition! It stands for freedom of choice, common sense, truth and most importantly, freedom to eat!! We commend the Chicago City Council for voting on this fair and square, unlike the clandestine maneuver of April 2006, when the ban was buried in an unread collection of routine legal matters. The animal rights extremists have attempted to repeat their Chicago strategy in other states and cities in the Land of the Free. They petitioned and protested, but NY, NJ, CT, IL, MI, HI, MA, MD, and Philadelphia have resisted their efforts!! Feel free to eat foie gras in any of these places! Today, please raise a glass with us...and a plate of foie gras...to celebrate the victory of family farmers who work hard to give us wholesome foods, and to freedom of choice on our menus. Vive le foie gras!! Super Chef applauds the sober member of the council who have come to their senses.
