The City Council in Chicago has voted to ban the sale of foie gras by retailers and restaurants in the city. The ban comes into play in 90 days and a fine of $500 faces anyone who violates the regulations. Reservations have been expressed by restaurant owners, unsurprisingly, but also by Richard Daley, the city’s mayor who told the Chicago Sun-Times that there were much bigger issues to deal with than foie gras.
