Findings:
After an exhaustive review of relevant data sources, we’re confident in our findings that 1.5% of New York City restaurants sell foie gras.
Overview and Methodology:
We researched 52 online sources and collected the name and location of every New York restaurant that lists foie gras on its menu. We then cross-referenced each name to remove duplicates. We also include restaurants which didn’t specifically list foie gras on their menu but in comments and reviews, foie gras was clearly available in the last 6 months.
To find the percentage of New York City restaurants that sell foie gras, we used the following equation:
Known New York City restaurants that sell foie gras /
The total number of New York City restaurants =
Percentage of New York City restaurants that sell foie gras
Known New York City restaurants that sell foie gras: 307
The total number of New York City restaurants: 24,000
Percentage of New York City restaurants that sell foie gras: 1.27916%
Accuracy:
To ensure the highest level of accuracy, after the research was performed, 10 data sources were chosen at random and audited for accuracy. No additional New York City restaurants that serve foie gras were found to be absent from the initial research. Additionally, we’re committed to updating the known New York City restaurants that sell foie gras as new information becomes available.
