    Duck Confit Cassoulet Style just went back on the menu at Baby Wale. There is no sausage or other meat in the dish but it is a whole duck leg that roasts over and drips all of its fat into real Tarbais beans. These beans are super expensive but they absorb flavor like none other.

    Thanks for thinking of Corduroy first. I wish everyone did that! We will be open Christmas Eve and Christmas day as we have been the last 14 years. We may not be accepting reservations for that night now because the menu/price has not been set. The price will probably be the same or $5 more a person depending upon what is offered. We can take your reservation early since Don has vouched for you.

    Koji is the chef at Sushi Keiko and it feels like old times. The Flounder Carpaccio is as good as it ever was. Koji's sushi rice has a firmness and separates in a way that is very much to my taste. I am very happy to have Koji working on Sunday nights again.

    There is a great knife store in the open but covered street market in Kyoto. They even stamp the character for "Power" on to my purchases. I am not sure if they have a "Yalcin" stamp.

    Some of the best advice I ever got in a kitchen : "Thin skinned; don't punch in. Can't hack it; grab your jacket."

    Corduroy will be offering a special surprise 5 course tasing menu today August 20 and tomorrow August 21 for a special price of $40. Please make a reservation so that we can be staffed properly. You must ask for the special surprise menu when you are seated as it will not be offered or advertized anywhere but here. Priceline style pricing on beverages will be available only if you take the special menu. This will be a limited return of liquid liquidation. Tell your server what you are interested in drinking and I will give you a special price of AT LEAST 25% off. Tell your friends.

    Sorry Susan. I have to change the menu sometimes because critics complain if I do not change my menu . I am still serving scallops (so maybe it is not viewed as a menu change to some) but the rice preparation that you mentioned has been replaced with jerusalem artichoke sauce and maitake mushrooms. I am sorry that you missed the return of the scallops on mashed potatoes and other old favorites, like the baby chicken, that I brought back in the fall in celebration of Corduroy's 10 year anniversary. I will try to do something similar for our 15th.

    I always love Koji's lobster miso but yesterday was the first time I had it with the daikon, it made a great canape. The soy marinated sea bream sperm was awesome also. Next time say hi.

    Corduroy will be open tonight. Avoid the lines at Safeway and Giant. We have plenty of milk and toilet paper. Valet parking will not be offered this evening. The menu may be slightly limited but I have plenty of duck confit, beef cheeks and pork belly.

    These last four days will not be Corduroy as usual. Many staff have already left for other employment, so please be patient. We will have a celebrity server coming to help. Deals on drinks include $3 Smurf Piss $3 Jim Beam and Shafer Hillside Select, 2000 for $120. There will be no deals on beer or vodka as we have none left to sell.

    After seven and a half long years Corduroy is leaving the Sheraton Four Points Hotel. Our last day at 1201 K Street will be January 31 and we will reopen at 1122 9th Street NW Washington DC in early March. The restaurant week promotion will be extended through January 26th and then there will be a big fire sale. January 27-31 will be liquid liquidation time. The menu will shrink to almost nothing over these days while the deals on wine, beer and spirits will be fantastic. Bring your friends and help drink me out of the Four Points.

    Brent's passing after only 22 years of life really makes you feel lucky to be alive and appreciate the little things. He had a big heart and will be missed. Funeral services are this Sunday at Cameron United Methodist Church at 3 PM. Details are available at www.cameron-umc.org . 703.960.9505. Brent's family has asked that flowers not be sent but would appreciate donations to defray funeral expenses.
