Watching Emeril Live tonight reminded me of how much I love rumaki, Any suggestions for take-out or delivery?

Cheers,
Wade

Wade,

Whatever you do, don't try the rumaki at Lin's Garden, on Milwaukee Ave. in Niles. They wrap the liver and water chestnut in ham, then bacon. It is then battered before deep frying, so what you get is a crisp shell filled with steamed liver and fatty bacon. The pressed duck is equally disgusting.

Evil,

I haven't had Linn's rumaki, but I most certainly agree with you on the pressed duck. Have you found a reasonable rendition anywhere?

Wade, off-hand I don't seem to know a place for rumaki, though Trader Vic's in the Palmer House (17 E Monroe) seems a likely choice.

Linn's info from '02 follows.

Enjoy,
Gary

Ron,

I hope you have menu writing input at the restaurant where you are a chef, because after reading your description of Pressed Duck I was so darn moved that I went right out to the closest likely American/Chinese joint for pressed duck or, in this case, Press Almond Duck.

First let me say that maybe there is a reason that you don

Wiv,

Add Pekin House on Devon to your quest for Pressed Duck. They still serve it up 50's style. Also, doesn't your beloved Kow Kow still serve it? I know Mee Mah serves a less than great version.

Regarding rumaki, it's easy to make. Just p.m. me if you'd like a recipe.

I never promised that Lin's pressed duck was good when I discovered it a couple of years ago. Only that they had it. Personally, in my one encounter with Lin's pressed duck, I couldn't finish anything other that the crispy coating, almonds, and lettuce. The duck itself had the consistency as if someone in the kitchen had chewed it, spit it out, then deep fried it

Did anyone ever find a place in the city that serves rumaki?
