"If you want to try medieval-style duck but don’t have enough personal days to go back in time, check out this South Asian tasting menu spot in Wicker Park. Their duck Numidian comes with duck confit on top of rice khichdi, all smothered in a sauce inspired by an ancient spice road connecting Spain and India (each dish comes with a little bit of storytime from the chef, too). It’s flavored with cumin, coriander, dates, red wine vinegar, and fish sauce, giving the buttery duck a trifecta of sweetness, salt punch, and tartness." - john ringor, veda kilaru
