Thursday's INQlings column contained a refererence to Saturday (12/8)'s planned "No Foie Gras Gala" organized by Hugs for Puppies and Professionals Against Foie Gras at the Ethical Society on Rittenhouse Square. I mused that it would be ironic if the pro-foie gras forces would picket outside. Hugs for Puppies has been showing up for months outside various restaurants that serve foie gras. You know, turnabout is fair play and all that.
Turns out that Terry McNally, the brash co-owner of London Grill in Fairmount, will lead a protest outside the Ethical Society; in a further twist in this little drama, Hugs for Puppies was issued a restraining order over the summer to stay away from London Grill. Matthew Levin, chef at the nearby Lacroix and also a foie gras booster, will serve appetizers.
Blogger PhilaFoodie runs it down here, in a post whose headline I wish I'd written.

With all the tragedy in the world...The countless righteous causes available and the deep need for people to aid them. Its amazing to me to see people fighting for the birds.
