Chris Cosentino's Incanto in Noe Valley played host to something resembling a foie gras summit meeting on Tuesday. As EaterSF reports, a "who's who" of San Francisco chefs, representatives from local foie gras makers and general goose liver supporters met at Incanto to discuss the impending ban on foie gras in the state of California. Eater has a nice recap of yesterday's meeting, but here are some highlights from the front lines of the foie gras resistance:

• A least one anti-foie gras zealot has been associated with an FBI-designated terrorist group. (AKA, the Animal Liberation Front.)

• Thomas Keller gives free lemonade to anyone who protests outside the French Laundry.

• Chef Russel Jackson, who served up an all-foie dinner last week at Lafitte, pointed out that a typical wild turkey weighs seven to nine pounds, but supermarket turkeys like the Butterballs that will be showing up on Thanksgiving tables across America next month weigh up to 25 pounds. "How do people think it got that way?"

• Local gourmands can expect more dinners like Jacksons and other foie-centric events designed "create awareness and raise money for foie's defense" before the ban goes in to effect in July 2012.

Finally, some hope for foie fans: "The law may still be repealed especially on the grounds of the Constitution's commerce clause, stating no U.S. state can forbid a perfectly legal product from other states." In the meantime, an internet petition to save bird liver products has already popped up. Read the rest of the industry's arguments, in which Incanto owner Mark Pastore comes off as this movement's Charles de Gaulle, over on Eater.
