Canard á la Presse at Zinc

Zinc just unleashed its Fall/Winter menu, including a return to an archaic-but-awesome culinary practice applied to a $70 two-course meal for two of a whole roasted Normandy duck that was wildly popular in the 19th century: the quacker's carved table-side, with the meaty bits set aside as the ransacked carcass is placed inside the cylinder of an 1870 silver duck press with a crank-driven mechanism that pulverizes the innards/contents to extract the makings of a sauce comprised of red wine, blood, and marrow -- and you thought ducks were filled with an unquenchable sense of adventure and a mild fear of the Beagle Boys. Woo-ooh!
