Margaux's Restaurant for my birthday ("I'm almost 21, guys. Yeah, almost.")
French restaurant with Asian decorations. Like. Confused. But like.
Andrew went with their prix fixe menu:
crab cake
baseball steak
creme brulee
Yum, great, mmm.

And I went with escargot for my appetizer...mainly because I didn't get to have escargot on the cruise.
But seriously. The duck.
I still fantasize about this.
My only regret is getting the escargot before.
What a waste of stomach space when compared to this.
The sliced duck breast.. so pretty and pink.
The skin, so crisp, but the meat, so tender.
Atop the parsnip puree, so smooth, slightly sweet.
I am not a fan of mashed potatoes and mashed sweet potatoes only goes with so much, so after this, parsnip will be my root of choice.
Lightly wilted spinach, such a perfect complement, one of my favorite greens to go with meat for sure.
Chesnuts, I love love love chestnuts. Why did I never think of duck and chestnuts? Seems so obvious now, makes anything else seem so imperfect.
So maybe I'm going a little overboard.
