Duck breast
Tornado Steakhouse, 1402 Williamson St.
There’s a lot to love about this classic preparation. Pan-roasted, the rich meat is balanced with sweet, dusky wine-currant sauce.
Duck poutine
1847 at the Stamm House, 6625 Century Ave., Middleton
Although arguably duck is rich enough on its own, why not top duck confit with gravy and a fried egg and serve it on frites? It just keeps getting better.
Duck nachos
Rockhound Brewing Co., 444 S. Park St.
A new home for duck confit is atop tortilla chips. It’s given a fusion treatment, with melted cheese and finished with a Mediterranean salsa of sorts, made of tomatoes, kalamata olives and onion.
