The Porch Wakefield

It's Mardi Gras the whole week at The Porch in Wakefield, and I had to check out the specials.

Appropriate decorations were in place.

Apart from King Cake they also had Duck and Sausage Gumbo ($10) and who can resist that. How do you make a Duck and Elk stew? Take a half duck and a half elk and ... None of that here, the big lump in the middles is a duck drumstick. The sausages in the gumbo were duck and andouille sausage, and the gumbo itself was outstanding. Just look at this dark and spicy concoction, and I wish you could smell it. I was going to save half for dinner, but I couldn't stop eating. I'll be back later in the week for more of this.
