Gotta love Spain and their generous foie gras dishes...
Hojadre con foie at Taberna Txakoli in Madrid, Spain (see post HERE) - the light flaky pastry gave a buttery texture to the rich foie gras filling.
Mini foie gras burgers at Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid, Spain (see post HERE) - these bite sized burgers were more playful than foie gras flavored.
pinxtos de foie at Tximiri in Madrid, Spain (see post HERE) - sometimes simpler is just better. A piece of decadent foie gras atop a toasted piece of bread.
bombon de foie at Mil Catas in San Sebastian, Spain (see post HERE) - a chilled ball of creamy foie gras with crushed pistacios for an added crunch. Sweet, savory, crunchy, and rich in one bite. This dish is my favorite foie gras dish from my Spain trip.
McFoie burger at Tapac 24 in Barcelona, Spain (see post HERE) - another playful take on an American favorite
Hudson foie gras with waffles, strawberries, and pistacios at Spruce in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - the most perfectly executed foie gras dish I've ever had. The strawberries and pistachios highlighted the sweet notes of the foie gras.
Seared foie gras with homemade donut at Naked Lunch in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - came here for the one foie gras dish, but ended up leaving with two! Who says you can't have foie for breakfast...
foie gras and duck proscuitto sandwich at Naked Lunch in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - I never thought foie gras could be considered savory and refreshing.
Foie gras with biscuits and maple gravy at Animal in Los Angeles, CA (see post HERE) - comfort food taken to a level of sophistication and exponentially more caloric.
foie gras loco moco at Animal in Los Angeles, CA (see post HERE) - how do you make a foie gras dish even better? Add sriacha, a runny egg, and some spam.
foie gras torchon at Txoko in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - crispy and satisfying. This one bite was an amazing start to a wondering foie tasting meal.
fois gras a la plancha at Txoko in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - the piquillo peppers and corn syrup highlighted the sweetness of the foie gras here.
pan roasted hen with foie gravy at Txoko in San Francisco (see post HERE) - okay so its not really in your face foie dish, but still counts...
fois ice cream at Txoko in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - not super foie gras tasting like I hoped it would be, but still fun to eat.
Seared duck and foie gras at Joel Rubuchon in Las Vegas, Nevada (see post HERE) - the largest piece of foie I ever put into my mouth. Halfway through I thought this foie might actually defeat me.
The Devil Inside at Craftsman & Wolves in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - chocolatey rich with foie gras inside (didn't taste it, but I guess I'll take their word for it).
seared foie gras with espresso sauce at Keiko a Nob Hill in San Francisco, CA (see post HERE) - a bittersweet (and savory) farewell bite
