The coalition of 100 California chefs that submitted that petition this week to overturn the impending prohibition of foie gras is likely going to have a rough, if not impossible time getting emergency legislation passed before July. CA Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said today that he would “not allow the issue to preoccupy the Legislature,” saying that they have higher priorities, like Governor Brown’s revised budget. Will Wolfgang Puck end up being on the right side of this issue (albeit hypocritically) after all is said and done? And seriously, Steinberg, what could be more important than our right to consume foie gras? [AP/SFGate]
