To indulge those who want to protest - in their own, small way - the bans and restrictions on various foodstuffs in the country, the Noé restaurant in the Omni Los Angeles Hotel will be hosting an Outlaw Dinner on July 27th. The dinner will be a 7 course meal based around forbidden, or almost forbidden, foods and techniques, including hemp seeds, absinthe and sous vide. The star of the dinner will be foie gras, as the meal both begins (a trio of foie gras as an appetizer) and ends (a dessert of Foie Gras Hot Chocolate and Toasted Marshmallows) with the fatty delicacy. All the food will be prepared under the direction of chef Robert Gadsby, who will preside over a similar dinner in Houston later in the summer.
The dinner is $95 per person and seating is limited. Contact the restaurant for reservations.
