Restaurant Closure Delayed

Dear Friends and Valued Guests, It is with a heavy heart and a deep sense of embarrassment that I write to you today.

This not only seasons the meat but also helps to draw out excess moisture, ensuring a succulent result. After the curing process, the duck legs are slowly cooked in their own fat. This method, known…
