Chicago Hot Dogs....
Mar. 30th, 2007 07:22 pmFat hits the fire: Chicago issues first $250 foie gras fine - to hot dog vendor
The city has issued its first foie gras fine and surprizingly it went to a hot dog vendor.
A company called "Hot Doug's" was accused of violating a Chicago ban by lacing its specialty dogs with the duck liver delicacy.
Doug Sohn, who runs Hot Doug's, which bills itself as "the Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium," agreed to pay $250 Thursday for the first-time offence.
Sohn had been openly serving foie gras-laced hot dogs since the ordinance took effect in August. He says he knew about the rule - when he got a warning letter from the city, he had it framed and placed on his counter.
