Hudson Valley Foie Gras Dinner with Guest Chefs

These tickets are for a many-course dinner incorporating donated Hudson Valley foie gras
or related duck products into every dish, plus additional take-home treats from Lazy Bear and
Hudson Valley Foie Gras. A number of California guest chefs will join Lazy Bear Chef David
Barzelay and Pastry Chef Maya Erickson in designing the menu and hosting the meal,
including: Evan Allumbaugh (flour + water); Michael Black (formerly of Sebo); Val Cantu
(Californios); Joey Elenterio (upcoming restaurant Cadence); Ken Frank (La Toque); Top Chef Master Douglas Keane, and Roland Passot (La Folie), and others.

All proceeds from the meal will go to the CHEFS Legal Defense Fund, which supports chef
access to foie gras. The fundraising dinner will benefit defense efforts for Ken Frank, the
Michelin-starred chef of La Toque in Napa Valley, who is being sued by the Animal Legal
Defense Fund. La Toque and Chef Frank have petitioned the California Supreme Court to take
up the case, and a select number of tickets to the dinner will be auctioned off to raise further
funds.
