The Duck Inn
Modern American
A pre-Prohibition corner tavern in Bridgeport where the chef behind it grew up, came back, and quietly made the Chicago dog the most labored thing on any bar menu in the city, built on housemade duck-fat sausage. The rotisserie duck arrives on a chopping block, the Italian beef uses prime rib shavings, and the whole room reads like fine-dining instincts filtered through a neighborhood tavern that never forgot what it was supposed to be.
