The Volstead Act is a ban imposed to the State of California in order to make illegal to raise, sell, or serve any product made through gavage. Citrin does not agree with the act, so he decided to organise an expensive dinner and to serve foie gras to everyone.

The State of California voted to forbid the gavage, so a restaurant decided to organise a last dinner made with foie gras. Citrin employed 11 people to help him delivering the food and paid them $185 each.
