about it on Chowhound because the food is just mediocre. I thought about patronizing them, but the fact is my little meals aren’t going to keep a barely average place open. I make personal decisions about what food I eat. I...

If you go to San Francisco you MUST go to Boulevard and order the Fois Gras. Unreal meal. You will not be disappointed.

, perhaps? (I did enjoy reading the review of Dovetail - "flavor bombed with veal short rib and fois gras butter is a pleasure to read!)

Guilt – I love food, and I tend to eat a lot of luxurious crap (I don’t mean frosted flakes, but rather fois gras and Bordeaux and chocolate and things that are really not sustainable as lifestyle choices). So,...

No you don’t; that’s the point Robert has been making. The first time I had a slice of fois gras terrine in France, I had no idea what it would look or taste like. I didn’t know how it was prepared. The first...

"Dear friends: Sorry we missed you last week at dinner. We had to eat your share of the fois gras and truffles, which was too rich for our blood. This is why it took us a week to recover and inquire. We checked the local morgue,...

by the fact that so many CHers misspell foie gras? and it’s usually when they’re raving about how much they love it. i’ve seen a number of variations, but the most common offender seems to be "fois." i...

be the sudden ubiquitousness of non-local luxury ingredients like fois gras). Also, the growth of the food scenes in other cities (Las Vegas, for example) has siphoned off some of the talent and energy. If what I posit — and...

Well, for me (at my age and not inexhaustable income) almost all recipe dealbreakers are cost related these days. If I found a drop dead delicious sounding recipe that called for foi gras, I would probably set up an acquisition...
