porcupine Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 It's time for DonRockwell.com to have a compendium of places to go to buy fine foods: the stuff you'd want to give as gifts, or the stuff that's hard to find, or the stuff that regular grocery stores don't carry. Let's put our heads together and develop a list. I'll volunteer to put it all together after we brainstorm. Where do you go to find the unusual? Here's a start: Dean and Deluca The Store Formerly Known as Sutton Pace Gourmet Cheesetique Where else? full disclosure: I need new ideas for Christmas shopping. help!

shogun Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Can we open it up to questions on where to find such specialty items? Say....duck fat, as a good, entirely random example. Ideally by Friday night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RaisaB Posted December 6, 2005 Share Posted December 6, 2005 Can we open it up to questions on where to find such specialty items? Say....duck fat, as a good, entirely random example. Ideally by Friday night? Shogun, if you needed it by Wednesday of next week, I could bring you back some from my trip on Sunday. I could just buy it at Monoprix or Auchan.

mdt Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 For duck, Super Fresh in Annapolis has a d'Artagnan (sp?) cold box with duck confit, duck fat, breasts, etc. I believe that I saw some at Wegman's in Fairfax too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendanc Posted December 7, 2005 Share Posted December 7, 2005 For Italian goodies try the Italian Store, lunch is a bonus, nice wines good basic Italian things. For the gourmet side try DiBruno Bros. out of Philly they have an online store and if you can see the original store in Little Italy, you are in for a treat. Great Cheeses, great selection of products. I haven't been there since I quit, but Market Salamander in Middleburg went out of its way to bring in unique foodie gifts and built a pretty strong cellar.

cjsadler Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 For duck, Super Fresh in Annapolis has a d'Artagnan (sp?) cold box with duck confit, duck fat, breasts, etc. This is probably old news, but recently discovered that the Brookville Market in Cleveland Park carries a whole bunch of D'Artagnan goodies (duck, duck fat, venison, sausages, demi glace, etc).
