I did a quick search of this board and it appears that Binkley's was the only local restaurant mentioned with Fois, but not sure if it is a regular item. I've never had it. And in all I've ever read about it, no one really describes the flavor...just that it melts in your mouth when prepared properly. So, point me in the right direction. Thanks.

The first foie gras preparation I really appreciated was the dish at T Cook's. Before that, I hadn't really seen the big deal.
