Chicago officials bust hot dog stand for selling foie gras

Last summer, the City of Chicago passed a bill sponsored by anti-Wal-Mart zealot Ald. Joe Moore banning the duck liver delicacy foie gras--on the grounds that of preventing animal cruelty.

Well, city officials have ticketed their first victim--and it's a humble hot dog stand on the city's Northwest Side, not a downtown Frech restaurant.

From AP:

Doug Sohn, the owner of Hot Doug's, has been serving foie gras-laced hot dogs for several months, and he was slapped with a citation just before opening time on Friday. His foie gras was confiscated and Sohn faces a fine of from $250 to $500 at his March 29 court date.

There are more important issues than foie gras in Chicago.
