I can’t think of any way I could’ve justifiably avoided the Foie Gras Corn Dog ($13.00). And once I got over the sticker shock of what were essentially two concession stand sucker sized fried orbs, I’m so glad I made the plunge. Although the foie is wrapped with both flavorful garlic sausage and brioche corn breading, its rich flavor dominates in the best way possible. The fig preserves and brown butter caramel were so good I contemplated taking the leftovers home in a doggy bag. One word of advice: be sure to eat this as soon as it gets to the table, as the molten foie center quickly renders the stick handles moot.
