BGE Reflections

This past weekend DUCKCHAR was fortunate enough to attend the first annual Chef’s Shoppe Big Green Egg Fest. Like previous Eggfests, we had a blast. Nancy, Scott, and Lisa from Chef’s Shoppe put together an incredible, sold-out, event. Definitely something to put on your calendar if you’re a backyard chef, Egghead, or live in the Edwardsville, Illinois area. Ten teams put their best foot forward and served 200 hungry and excited attendees.

Duck 'n Waffles

Our friend and grill master, Rusty Ducworth, attended the 2018 Sunshine State Eggfest in 2018 Melbourne, Florida. Rusty put his own twist on Chicken and Waffles and developed Duck N Waffles, an awesome DUCKCHAR brunch recipe. Based on the Eggheads feedback, it was a hit. Speaking on behalf of taste buds everywhere, we graciously say, “thank you.”

Deli Sandwich Game Changer: Corned Duck

Everyone has their favorite deli. You walk in and order the same thing almost every time. It's that good. Maybe it's a pastrami sandwich. Maybe it's corned beef with a side of potato salad. It's always the same and that's a good thing because that sandwich is really freakin' tasty.

Duck Confusion

We spend a lot of time at Food Festivals and Farmers Markets talking to people about DUCKCHAR and Moulard Duck. There is a lot of confusion about the various duck breeds because honestly, it’s confusing. A lot of folks think they have tried Moulard Duck before. Generally speaking, they have not. Different ducks have different tastes, appearances, and applications. And quite frankly, when it comes to cooking and eating, Moulard duck is by far the best tasting duck out there, so tasty that it is known as “Duck Steak”. We are OBVIOUSLY biased but an objective eater would agree, when it comes to the tastiest and best duck, Moulard is King.

SoCal Eggfest

A little over a week ago, we attended another Eggfest. We'll set the scene for you. It took place at a private airport Upland, California. There were planes flying overhead, mountains as a backdrop, and BGE smoke rising everywhere. This event was our first in Southern California and it did not disappoint. Our friends at Outdoor Kitchen Creations organized this Eggfest and they were nice enough to let us put on yet another "duck demo." We taught some folks how to grill and pan sear Moulard Duck Breast on a Big Green Egg. Then we all had a bite to eat together.
