Napa’s La Toque restaurant, which has been a vocal opponent of the foie gras ban, is being sued by the Animal Legal Defense Fund in Napa County Superior court for serving foie gras.

According to the Napa Vally Register, the Michelin-starred restaurant “routinely sells foie gras products,” in violation of the 2012 ban which prohibits the sale of poultry products in which the animal has been force fed, a practice called gauvage.

Their part, executive chef Ken Frank says he does not sell the foie gras, but instead gives it away to customers who request it as part of their meal.
