Super Duck Three Way | Smoked duck breast, duck leg confit, duck prosciutto, herbed aioli, smoky tangy bbq sauce on a toast brioche bun. There is a sandwich in the North Shore area called the "Super Beef Three Way" and this was my answer to that nonsense.
Who is your culinary inspiration?I am inspired by dishes that are loaded with a variety of flavors but fairly simple to execute. My "Monkfish Velouté de Crème" for example is Fresh Wild Caught Monkfish Medallions/Rotini/Roasted Garlic/Wilted Spinach/Grape Tomatoes/Artichoke Hearts/White Wine Cream Sauce/Integrated Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Pesto all just thrown into a pan. I love Mediterranean flavors for freshness and simplicity.
What would you do with the $25,000?We just had to replace the rooftop unit on our building to the tune of $20,000. I would probably want to pay off that loan to free up some monthly income and the rest to take my wife somewhere nice to relax and unwind for a week with champagne and snorkeling.
