The next day, about a dozen people walked into a cozy San Francisco restaurant with a window sign reading “private event” to enjoy the delicacy, California’s newest forbidden fruit. Two weeks after the state’s ban on selling and producing the fatty duck liver, some chefs are finding new ways to circumvent restrictions. Bloomberg’s Alison Vekshin reports. (Source: Bloomberg)
