With California’s ban on serving foie gras struck down, the 1500 OCEAN restaurant in the Hotel del Coronado announced Tuesday that it is serving the goose liver delicacy again starting this week.
Chef Meredith Manee will be serving up foie gras with her signature California coastal cuisine. The dining room will be featuring special foie gras items throughout the month of January, with offerings changing nightly.
Among the dishes planned are:
- “Foie & White Winter Truffle Breakfast Homage,” which features a Seared Foie Gras, Duck Fat Potatoes, Fried Duck Egg, Duck Bacon drizzled with Truffle Sauce
- “MB & Foie,” a seared Foie Gras dish served with Macadamia Nut Butter and Passion Fruit Jam with Brioche
- Foie Gras and Truffle Fritters
In addition to the new menu items, foie gras will be offered as an additional topper to diners craving a slice of the decadent delicacy.
The law banning the sale of foie gras — French for “fat liver” — and its byproducts went into effect in 2012. A U.S. District Judge in Los Angeles declared the law unconstitutional last week.
