Longfellow Grill’s Duck Lucy: locally raised beef! We love it!
It’s the rare special guest star Lucy! I happened to be at the Longfellow Grill this last weekend when they had the Jucy Duck on their specials menu. In our effort to make a complete and rational tour of all available Lucy experiences, I have stepped up to take one for the team in attempting this solo review of Longfellow’s unconventional take on the classic.I’ve been a longtime fan of the Longfellow Grill’s low key casual attitude, remarkable bacon, and tempura green beans. So I was able to exude confidence when ordering Longfellow’s Jucy Duck, a locally raised beef burger with a molten fortine cheeze and dried cherry concoction on the inside, toasted bun with dock confit on the outside. The result was…haphazard…at best. Although the burger was tasty and moist, the CEF (Cheeze Explosion Factor ™) was non-existent and the filling of mushrooms and dried cherries did not gel with the fortine cheese (fortine cheese is to fancy to be calledcheeze) like I had hoped. I can probably best sum up my experience with a haiku that I will title “Longfellow Jucy Duck”:
(clears throat)
Juicy duck confit
oh yeah, I don’t like mushrooms!
ambivalent shrug
Lucy sez: “ are there any more tempura green beans left?”
