The Foie Festival is the reincarnation of Foie La La, the annual foie gras event established three years ago by Brad Walker, co-owner of Boundary Road.This is the first year that restaurants located outside the H Street corridor will participate in the event. Also new this year: support from D'Artagnan, the company that supplies premium Hudson Valley foie gras products to restaurants across the United States.The premise of the week-long event is a friendly competition between neighborhood restaurants for the Golden Duck trophy. Chefs and restaurant owners also plan to use the event as a way to educate diners about foie gras by addressing misinformation about the ingredient and by recognizing and celebrating the farmers who engage in responsible practices.Participating restaurants will create and offer a foie-centric dish as a menu special for the duration of the competition. The winner is decided by popular vote. Diners try the dishes and select a favorite via an online poll.The list of participating restaurants and their dishes will be released on Tuesday, January 12, 2016.For more information please contact Boundary Road chef Luke Feltz at chef@boundaryrd.com.

Luke.Feltz Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 Celebrate the Greatest Gift a Duck Can Give 2016 DC Foie Gras Festival Wednesday October 26th - Wednesday November 2nd Join 40 top Washington, DC restaurants in celebrating one of their favorite culinary delicacies – foie gras. As part of the week-long DC Foie Gras Festival, participating restaurants will be serving foie gras-centric dishes, all featuring conscionably raised domestic foie gras. Consumers who dine at any of the 40 participating restaurants from October 26 – November 2 will have the opportunity to vote on their favorite foie gras dish and the winner of the popular vote will receive the coveted Golden Duck trophy. The DC Foie Gras Festival is the chef-driven reincarnation of Foie La La, the original H Street foie gras competition founded four years ago by former Boundary Road chef and co-owner, Brad Walker. “Foie gras has a rich cultural history dating back to ancient Egypt, but there are many misconceptions about this culinary delicacy,” said Chef Luke Feltz of Boundary Road and the organizer of the DC Foie Gras Festival. “Our mission during this week-long festival is to delight foie gras enthusiasts, introduce foie gras to those who have yet to experience it, and to educate diners on foie gras and its production.” “As the leading domestic provider of responsibly raised foie gras, we are proud to support Chef Feltz in our common mission to educate diners on the misconceptions surrounding the production of foie gras and recognize farmers who treat their animals with respect,” said Ariane Daguin, CEO of D’Artagnan. All participating restaurants will be using the highest quality foie gras sourced from Hudson Valley Foie Farms in upstate New York. Hudson Valley’s practices consistently earn approval from veterinary professionals. The birds are cage free, handled by the same person their entire lives, and every part is used, including the feathers.

DaRiv18 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 My heart is still racing 36 hours later after I ate the Foie Gras Smorgasbord at Boundary Road. Bring a friend or make a friend, but definitely share this dish ($18). Foie three ways: a whipped butter version, a smoked foie then ground into a liverwurst (I think that's right), and then a straight-up seared version. My favorite is the foie gras liverwurst, served with a surprise ingredient for crunch! Luke has outdone himself, including getting 40 others to participate. Ok, I'm off to get a salad, I'll try some other places before this ends Wednesday. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eatruneat Posted October 29, 2016 Share Posted October 29, 2016 @MichaelBDC had the Foie Gras Smorgasbord as well on Thursday night. It was the highlight of a very good meal at Boundary Road. Definitely glad we split this. The foie gras liverwurst was our favorite too. Glad others are enjoying this as well. Will write up our meal soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
