Quotes
"This was totally unexpected, and this is turning out to be a highlight of the day."

"Oh, that is insanely tasty."
"The ducks have just arrived in the truck, offloaded directly to the stall, and they're about to start chopping those up and serving."
"It comes to your table, boiling lava hot, and I got the mardin, a clay pot filled with all the duck little bits and pieces braising in its juices and just boiling away, and the aroma of the Chinese spices in there, it looks so good, and then I got it with rice, and it comes with a sauce as well, but this is the dish of choice for sure."
"Oh, the earthiness of that broth, the ducky earthiness. You taste the coriander roots in there, you taste the white pepper. Oh, it's salty, you got a little bit of that stickiness from your lips immediately, from the duck fat and juices coming out, and that skin. Oh, it's so rich, it's so flavorful, it's so hot, it's so nourishing."
"Both dishes from here, you can't go wrong. In fact, you have to eat them both."
