Chef Says “Foie You” With Delicious Sandwich

Christine Nunn, chef and owner of Picnic Caterers in Emerson, NJ was recently taken aback after receiving a threatening letter from Farm Sanctuary, a “farm animal protection organization”. The reason Nunn was picked as a target was for her use of foie gras in a dish at the Ultimate Chef Bergen County Finals. Foie gras has been under fire some time now by animal rights activists, leading to picketing of restaurants, a 2 year ban in Chicago (which was recently lifted) and plans to ban the sale in the entire state of California starting in 2012.

Debate aside, threats and blackmail are not cool and Christine Nunn sent a letter to Farm Sanctuary and decided to show her dislike for the actions in the most tasteful way possible: a sandwich. The “Foie You” consists of foie gras, smoked duck breast and sliced pears topped with balsamic blackberry jam atop a crossaint.

Unfortunately, these incredibly delicious looking sandwiches were made available to the public on April 21st, and are all gone. We applaud Chef Nunn for her creativity and decision to use her cooking skills to fight for her rights.
