Here in Madison, you can find this lovely dish at A Pig in a Fur Coat. It's a newer restaurant on Willy St. that occupies the space that used to be the now defunct La Rocca's Pizza. It's one of those new gastronomic ventures that somewhat defies the conventional restaurant format. It doesn't confine itself to any specific ethnicity. Nor does it present itself as any type of "fusion", whether referring to ethnicity or cooking style. They simply use local ingredients whenever possible and cook great food without overthinking their menu and without any pretense. It embodies everything I want in a restaurant: immaculately prepared food, local ingredients, but in a casual setting. It's a place where I can eat foie gras without having to worry about which fork to use and whether or not I'm dressed appropriately. It's an indulgence without it being a special occasion. It's haute cuisine in blue jeans.
And I love it.
