After the Animal Protection & Rescue League threatened picketing Bill Telepan's restaurant, the GM at Compass in New York City is pushing foie gras on their menu.
From
Eater.com: "GM Rob Burns sends out an email today about a visit from a disappointed diner who said he would promote the restaurant to his "hundreds of contacts in the in the pharmaceutical industry" if they would just remove foie gras from the menu. Burns, a staunch supporter of both organic and sustainable food and foie gras of the Hudson Valley, has decided to do the opposite: '...starting next week we will be offering our guests, that wish to try, a foie gras amuse bouche as well as featuring a different foie gras appetizer every night. We look forward to seeing you!'"
