deangold Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 February 28 & 29 at 7:00 pm Just when you thought is was safe to waddle into the duck pond again, brace yourself. We bring a quacking good night with a raft of bad puns and a flush of great duck dishes and a flock of amazing beer & wine. Just LEAP into the middle of the flock. Don't be a puddle duck. It would be Daffy to miss it! Dinner with the Duck is a 10 dish tasting celebrating everything ducky. Dr Joe Jerglewicz is our duck supplier, and we will be using every part of his Pekin Ducks to bring you this special night. So before its time to fly south for the winter, come is and enjoy our feast. It looks like a lot of food, and it is, but this is a tasting portion sized menu. As always, our selections are tentative due to the vagaries of Mother Nature. We have limited spaces so don't squawk if you can't join the flock! The cost of the meal is $59 per person plus tax & gratuity. We will have a Montalcino Trio flight available for $30 and an Italian Beer flight for $18. Please call the restaurant for reservations as you cannot reserve thru open table for this event. Have your credit card handy when you call to guarantee your reservation. 202-686-2966 The menu: duck leg Vietnamese summer roll duck fat oven roasted potatoes w/bottarga confit of duck neck & duck butt duck fat baci scallop & duck liver stuffed duck fat Tuscan scrapple duck sausage stuffed duck neck w/maple syrup duck & mushroom soup duck beggars purse pasta duck confit salad with house young ginger mostarda stewed duck leg with Tuscan Mole saffron panna cotta with caramelized duck cracklings Menu is tentative and may change because of availability of seasonal ingredients at the market or because of too much drinking by the chef! Bring your own Lipitor. Don't look back; the duck may be gaining on you. A duck in hand is a good thing! A duck in nine saves time... no wait, a duck in 10 courses is too much which is just about perfect! Past performance is not guarantee of future performance, but it was pretty damn tasty. Don't miss out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted February 6, 2012 Author Share Posted February 6, 2012 News Flash from English Literature In related news, the controversy of who actually wrote Shakespeare has finally been solved! Researchers at the Pekin University of Duckology in China have actually found the original copy of Hamlet; and it was written by none other than Duck Dodgers in the 24½th Century. As proof, here is the translation of the original famous soliloquy where the famous duck prince {not Dane} expresses his doubts: To duck, or not to duck, that is the question: Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer The slings and arrows of outrageous feathers, Or to take arms against a brace of mallards, And by opposing eat them? To roast, to braise, No more; and by a sleep to say we eat The heart-burn ache, the thousand natural shocks That tasty duck flesh is heir to: 'tis a tasty consumption Devoutly to be wished. To cook, to nibble; To nibble, perchance to dream – ay, there's the spice rub: For in that dream of duck, what Brunello may come, When we have shuffled off this tasty dinner, Must give us lipitor – there's the respect That makes calamity of so long life. For who would bear the whips and scorns of overcooked duck, The oppressor's lean & antibiotic filled duck, the proud man's natural duck fat, The pangs of delectible Pekin love, the crisp skin’s delight, The insolence of foams, and the spumas That patient merit of th' unworthy gastronomy molecular, When he himself might his spheroids make With a bare bodkin? Who would fake foods bear, To grunt and sweat under a weary life, But that the dread of something after dessert, The undiscovered country, from whose Bourbon No duck tongue returns, puzzles the will, And makes us rather bear those ills we have Than fly to others that we know not of? Thus conscience does make duck lovers of us all, And thus the native quack of resolution Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of sauce, And enterprises of great food and wine, With this regard their ducks turn awry, And lose the name of action. Quack you now, The fair Dr Joe Jurgliewicz! Veterinarian, in thy coops Be all my quacks remembered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deangold Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 You don't have to be a Sir Francis Drake to discover duck deliciousness. Waddle on in and join the flock. We are still a few Mallards short of a full brace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
