Impressive. I have a jar of foie gras in my cupboard....same jar I brought back from France. I'm not sure what to do with it. I don't know that I love it enough on its own to just eat it with crackers. I was thinking to maybe stuff chicken with it. Would that be a big faux pas?

Foie gras, mango and sticky rice actually sounds excellent. Should we write the chef?<br/><br/>Nicole - glad you're coming with!<br/><br/>HI Terri - that is sad, come to Thailand with us?<br/><br/>HI Stacey - that is my kinda flight!<br/><br/>HI Marvin - yes I ate at them all, over the last couple years. Water Grill is one of my favorite restaurants. It is in downtown LA. You don't hear much about it anymore because it is "old." I think at least 20 years and all the new places get the publicity. Let me know if you go. They specialize in seafood.<br/><br/>HI Darius - so which are you having?<br/><br/>Hi Zita - the ahi tuna and foie gras roll was amazing. I'm not counting out the deep fried yet, I have to try it!<br/><br/>Hi Mary - thank you. We gotta try it first, no? Hi Taste Memory – The Thai dish sounded good to me too.
