Chicago Repeals Ban on Foie Gras

Perhaps there’s a bit of common sense left in Chicago’s government. 

With Mayor Richard Daley running the vote, the Chicago City Council on Wednesday repealed its controversial ban on foie gras.

Hat tip Nick.

1. I don’t know if it was common sense as much as people going to Indiana for forbidden foie gras.  Their favorite restaurants start losing too many sales, something’s gotta be done…

   (I got stuck overnight in Merrillville coming back from the 2007 Super Bowl; the local tourist-info magazine that much had a feature on area restaurants that now featured foie gras.  I was surprised by how many chefs commented on customer demand.)
