Eat This Now – Salad with Dried Cranberries and Shaved Foie Gras at TWIST

[imagebrowser id=862]

Sorry for being a little light on the posts lately food fans, but we at ELV have been a little busy.

And depressed.

“Why are you so depressed ELV?” is probably what you’re asking yourself right now.

The answer is: We’re depressed because we can’t have Pierre Gagnaire’s (and Pascal Sanchez’s) baby greens salad with dried cranberries and shaved foie gras everyday.

“But ELV,” you’re probably saying to yourself right now, “how in the world do they shave foie gras into ribbon-thin shards of fatty deliciousness in order to shower them over a salad?”

To which ELV can only reply: We haven’t the foggiest, but think it is the best use of foie since someone invented the terrine.

Memo to Self: Self, Remind Yourself Not to Attend

ELV note: The only thing more ridiculous than an ad campaign based around the limited appeal of a goomba, Soprano-wannabe is an meatball-eating contest targeted at the meatballs, pudwacks and douchebags who think such a thing is cool. Jay Louis, Las Vegas needs you! It begs you to properly mock these stains upon the human condition, and the protein-ingestion-fests that attract them.
