A taste of France in Virginia: New restaurant offers century-old Duck a la Presse
The Duck a la Presse reaches all the way back to France, over a century ago.
The French cuisine that originated in the early 1800s in France was once usually enjoyed by France’s most elite.
“Chefs would take the ducks and carve them tableside, break them down and process them through a duck press to extract the blood and juices to finish the sauce at the table.,” Executive Chef Anthony DiGregorio (The Watergate Hotel, Café Boulud Palm Beach) told 7News.
