Foie Gras is torched and made into a brulee at Sent Sovi Friday, May 11, 2012 in Saratoga, Calif. This is not a good time to be a duck in California. As a July 1 deadline looms for foie gras nears, renegade chefs across the state are loading their menus with the fatty duck liver and even holding secret dinners to avoid protesters, who say that force-feeding ducks is cruel.
