From Mallard:
“Mallard Supper Series: A Very Special Foie Gras Dinner at Mallard
Thursday, November 12th | 6:30pm – 8:30pm
$125 Per Guest | $65 Optional Wine Pairings
Our Supper Series returns to Mallard! Join us on Thursday, November 12th for an exclusive communal dining experience featuring four foie gras dishes from Chef Hamilton Johnson and a special welcome cocktail from Spirits Director Nick Farrell.
We’ll also have optional wine pairings available for this very special dinner.
Foie Gras has been in the headlines recently and, while foie gras’ restaurant availability will likely come to an end next summer in Washington, DC, we remain steadfast champions of this specialty product. We look forward to hosting you for a memorable dinner showcasing responsibly-farmed foie gras sourced exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks at La Belle Farms, a 40-acre, family-run, duck farm located in Sullivan County, NY.
The Dinner is priced at $125 per guest. Optional Wine Pairings are $65.

From Animal Outlook:
“Animal Outlook, today, sent a cease and desist letter to Mallard, a restaurant on 14th Street NW, demanding it stop advertising its foie gras as “responsibly-farmed” and sourced “exclusively from humanely-raised and fed ducks.” The letter says the claims are false and misleading under the DC Consumer Protection Procedures Act (CPPA).
