Foie de Poulet: Chicken Liver with Apple Brandy Dijon Sauce (Recipe)
Last week I had the opportunity to chat with Chef Tony Maws and Chef Carl Dooley about one of Craigie on Main’s most exceptional special events, The Road Less Traveled, where the ingredients are more nose and tail than anything in between.

Let’s start with the Piggy because he’s no longer in the middle. Pig is front and center on Tuesday, October 15th at Craigie on Main. If just the mention of a six course dinner with the folks who have so much more than Ideas in Food, doesn’t have you lunging for the phone to book…
