not hungry for foie gras right now

What a great birthday! Thanks to my friends for making it so fun. Did we end up on the news?

PETA is going to protest Cafe Rolle this afternoon, starting at 6:00 pm. Doesn't William Rolle come from a family of foie gras purveyors? I think they couldn't have picked someone LESS likely to give up his use of foie gras. I have to admit, the PETA video on foie gras is super gnarly. You can't tell where they filmed it. The ducks look really sick in it.

I wonder if this is the Guy Fieri effect? First Squeeze in gets hit with an ADA lawsuit, now this.

How about a little spin-off show?

the PETA people were weak. They only lasted an hour, and didn't deter any customers. Rafik said they sold more foie gras than ever.
