The United States of Coffee

The country’s top 10 small-batch coffee companies are brewing blends that do more than wake you up.

Chewing the Fat

In 2006, Chicago became the first city in the United States to ban foie gras. Last May, the ban was overturned. Still, foie—the fatty liver of geese and ducks traditionally enhanced by gavage, force-feeding the bird copious amounts of corn through a metal tube—is the center of a debate between animal-rights..
