We've got a small rain-on-your-wedding-day quandary for you: Are you conflicted about humane and ethical farming standards yet love the taste of soon-to-be-banned foie gras? We sure are. Which is why we love the benefit coming up at Michelin-starred Alexander's Steakhouse. See, Alexander's Steakhouse will host a $250 (!) six-course foie gras and wine paired dinner on Friday, March 30 starting at 6:30 p.m. that's fighting to keep foie gras alive, so to speak.

Is it worth the price tag? Yes, if you can swing it and have flexible morals when it comes to what you shove in your mouth. Joining Alexander's executive chef will be none other than David Barzigan from Fifth Floor, Dominique Crenn of Atelier Crenn, Ken Frank of La Toque, Joseph Elenterio of Chez TJ, and Alexander's Pastry Chef Dan Huynh. Also, all of the evening's profits will go to CHEFS, the Coalition for Humane and Ethical Farming Standards, a pro-foie gras advocacy group that wants the fattened livers to be produced humanely. Which, well, isn't technically possible (unless it's some sort of monstrous soy-based concoction or whatnot), but... there you have it.

Reservations can be made via OpenTable.com or by calling 415-495-1111.
