I will be attending this event so hope to see some of my readers there.
Wish I could be there... I'm drooling on my keyboard just reading the menu!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing sustainable seafood and organic wines with foie gras...? I haven't eaten veal or foie gras in 20 years.
ReplyDeleteRandy:
ReplyDeleteYes, it certainly should be a good meal. And the wines should be killer too.
Hi Mary:
The issue of sustainability is a very different one from that of veal/foie. There is no incompatability in desiring sustainability but also enjoying foie. I have addressed the foie controversy previously on my blog at length.
Please post the links if you still have them. I would think that if you are targeting an environmentally and socially consious crowd, the idea of sustainability and animal welfare go hand in hand. I am not a vegetarian. And I am not an animal rights activist. However, where my food comes from and how it is produced are important in my decision making. Just a comment.
