chuck, i guess my little joke - or poke in a bruise, as it were - wasn't very funny either. the fact remains that i'm pretty sure sohn ain't passing any pate your way, (hey, that rhymes!) unless (affectionate jab alert----->)he's off to illustrate the differences in flavor between foie gras and foot-in-mouth. anyway, i'm a vegetarian (ask doug - he always fixes me up a veggie dog with some fantastic, far-out trimmings)...so no back cuts needed.....

anna: the term used was "sketchy ass hot dog," which we tried to point out, to no avail, was a poorly worded joke. And we really don't feel like opening that can of worms again. You can have back cuts behind me.

Why doesn't he just do like some of the fancy restaurants have and sell the bun but offer the duck's waste organ for free?

Sohn said that he most likely would give it to suburban restaurant owners and caterers, but he also joked that he might set up a hot dog stand on the Evanston side of the city limits a This would be sweet! Everyone from Chicago could drive to Evanston, grab a foie gras hot dog and cruise on the north side of Howard Street. Hell, we could also talk on our cell phones while we're at it! Eating foie gras while driving and talking on the cell at the same time! Go for it Doug! It will purge Evanston of the "four mile rule" demons that are still haunting our neighbor to the North!
