Endless Possibilities: Concept to Creation

I think one of the most important

and strongest inspirations for us

in opening this restaurant

has been the family legacy of being in the food industry.

[fast upbeat music] Together we own Ducks Eatery,

Harry & Ida's Meat and Supply Co

and Harry & Ida's Luncheonette.

Our great-grandparents actually

had two delicatesans.

We use a lot of the same ideas,

we are telling

the story of our family.

One of the thing's that sets us apart

is our ability to use all these weird

different parts of the animal or vegetable or fish.

Get people to try pig ears or goat neck

and if we can it's more sustainable.

The key is making sure that

these ingredients look beautiful

because that's what's gonna be

what people first see.

It's so important to be able to work

with your team.

Day to day I'm on the floor,

I'm engaging with customers,

with our staff.

We've had a team of dish washers,

prep cooks, bar tenders.

They have been our core day to day people

And those end up being those I trust most in my life.

Ducks is constantly progressing and so much of that

is based on where we're traveling

and exploring.

And so we have more information at the touch of a button.

Through technology we're able to connect

a farmer to a small restaurant

to a community around us.

And being close to the community has been

the thread work to our success here.
