Charlie Trotter, whose renouncement of foie gras at his restaurant inspired Ald. Joe Moore (49th) to introduce the foie-gras-ban ordinance, said the repeal wouldn’t affect him at all.
“I was never in favor of the ban to begin with,” Trotter said. “I was appalled when Joe Moore decided to list my name as an advocate of this point of view. He wanted me to come out and support this thing. I have my own reasons for not serving this product, but don’t get me involved in his mess.” Source.Graphics by Tom Mannis

Another person who's upset with Lyin' Joe. This idiot supported the loser.
"A Visit from the Irony Fairy. Alderman Joe Moore just sent out an email decrying the process by which his symbolic foie gras ordinance was shot down. The mayor didn't let people know, Joe complains, the proper procedure wasn't followed. Damn, that's familiar. In fact, it sounds a lot like me complaining that Joe didn't send out the agenda for his ZALUAC meeting.
That Irony Fairy is a vicious son of a bitch.
Joe can't have it both ways, you see. If good process and transparency is what ought to happen, then Joe himself ought to to be sending out those ZALUAC agendas. And if we all just need to get over it and cope with the fact that the ZALUAC agendas are never available on time, then the same applies to Joe and his foie gras issue. Land use affects people very tangibly, while foie gras is an obscure ingredient nobody eats. Between the two, it's far more important that ZALUAC notices are properly and timely delivered.
What makes absolutely no sense is for Joe Moore to hold Mayor Daley to a higher standard than Joe holds himself. After all, Mayor Daley is pretty up-front about being a power-hungry tyrant. Joe, on the other hand, postures as a good-government type, even if he doesn't actually behave in accordance with his ideals.
Joe felt entitled to notice of upcoming ordinances? Well, I feel entitled to notice of ZALUAC actions, and I didn't get what I wanted either. Joe, that bitter sensation is the taste of your own medicine.
That Irony Fairy is a vicious son of a bitch."
Man, this has been a good week for the Hell Hole. They're all turning on each other right before my very eyes.
