Based on a press release we received at the Mercury today, it looks like the Portland Animal Defense League (PDXADL) will be moving their protests to Alberta Street. Their next target is Alberta Street Oyster Bar.

As I reported in the Mercury a few months back, PDXADL has thus far been able to remove foie from the menus of two Pearl Disctrict eateries: Ten 01 and Fenouil. Since then, they have continued to be a presence outside of Blue Hour, where foie remains firmly ensconced on the menu.

Protesters may get a much more friendly reception on Alberta Street, which is home to In Defense of Animals and a number of vegan restaurants.

PDXADL will have a press conference in front of Alberta Street Oyster Bar today at five pm to talk about their views on foie gras and to announce their demand to make Portland a “Foie Gras Free Zone.”

  1. Foie Gras free Portland would be an easy thing to accomplish, so why stop there? I’d like to see it faux hawk free, wax and died eyebrow free, Antonio Bandarez Cologne free, Rush Limbaugh free, white rapper free, and republican free.

  3. Someone posted over at indymedia that foie gras is back on the menu at Ten 01 after the owner avoided earlier picketing by nixing it.

    The veg kids protested the place last week and according to the post, “Managers and employees at Ten-01 taunted us, saying they would never take foie gras off the menu, and that we were only letting potential customers know that foie gras was served there, thus helping their business.”

  4. the veg kids should focus on much more important isuues (the poultry industry, the cattle industry…) are they too afraid of confronting real issues and big companies??
