"Odd Duck invented the phrase “farm to table.” We don’t know if that’s true, but they’re definitely one of the early pioneers of the trend here in Austin, and while a lot of spots came and went, Odd Duck never left. The menu changes regularly—based on seasonality, the chef’s whims, or how the wind’s blowing, probably—which just means you have plenty of reasons to keep coming back. Expect to find lots of riffs on classic Texas/Southern dishes like pecan mole pork shoulder, blackened redfish with sourdough sauce, and stuffed quail with dirty rice. If you’re looking for one really nice dinner while you’re in Austin, you should probably make a reservation at Odd Duck." - nicolai mccrary
