This week we learned exactly how much cruelty we can swallow after eating six courses of foie gras at Wilshire and getting 24 final tastes of foie. Apparently, Lazy Ox Canteen has had its fill, as well, as the kitchen is planning a “Forget Foie” fete, intended to “celebrate [their] apathy” with the foie gras issue, expressed through an a la carte menu running June 29 and 30 with dishes featuring conceivable alternatives to foie like beer-braised octopus served with similarly textured monkfish liver and a Lazy Ox burger layered with lamb’s liver. Check out the full lineup of what we’re going to call Lazy Ox’s “fuck-a-duck” menu down below.
