Entree

heavenly duck with spicy plum sauceNot just any Fort Worth fine dining restaurant is going to offer an exotic entrée like Duck with Spicy Plum Sauce.  Half duck slowly roasted and cooked to perfection, served over angel hair pasta, topped with Chef’s spicy plumb sauce. But hopefully you've come to Chef Point Café where the ordinary turns extraordinary with the help of Chef Franson Nwaeze.  Take this delightful duck entrée; it is prepared with special seasonings and a lot of creativity to give diners one scrumptious meal.  While this water bird may be a tasty treat, many may find it interesting to learn more about it and why duck is becoming more popular in the U.S.

Duck is best known throughout the East.  Cooking delicious duck dishes dates all the way back to the Yuan Dynasty around the early 1300s.  Later, the best chefs would travel from all over China to Beijing in hopes of cooking for the emperor during the Ming Dynasty.  Only the finest chefs were allowed into the palace kitchen, let alone allowed to cook for the emperor himself.  Chef Nwaeze would definitely have made the cut back then with his Duck with Plum Sauce entrée.   

While duck has traditionally been seen as a food that might only grace the pages of a fine dining restaurant menu, things are changing.  This bird is becoming more commonly used in everyday items.  Duck sausage, duck hot dogs, duck burgers and even duck tartare has been spotted in restaurants throughout the United States.  It seems many an entrée can be tweaked to incorporate this quacky addition. 

Does ordering the Duck with Plum Sauce sound a little too good?  Then you just don't have all the facts about ducks.  This food is a natural source of iron, selenium and niacin and packs a protein punch.  A duck can be up to 40 percent lower in fat than its common competitor, the chicken.  For those believing false rumors and refusing duck because they've heard it's greasy, listen up.  A duck can only be as good as the way it's cooked and at this fine dining restaurant, it is a definite crowd pleaser.

When thinking of that next dinner at a fine dining restaurant with all the trimmings, remember Duck with Plum Sauce.  This entrée is an unexpected pleasure found in an eclectic gas station eatery.  Trying this duck entrée will bring a smile to the lips and harmony to the table.  Come to Chef Point Café and check out this overlooked bird for a memorable meal.
