The Shaved Duck...a Triple D Date Night

A few weeks ago before the tornadoes ripped thru the STL for the second time this year, Red Wings fan and I got to test out another cool spot for dinner.  It was featured on Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives and since I'm a huge fan of food, Food Network and anything Guy Fieri, Red Wings fan decided we should try it out.
The Shaved Duck did not disappoint either! 
I opted for something a bit healthier on their menu and order the pulled chicken sandwich and sauteed brussel sprouts while Red Wings fan ordered the signature dish....

Smothered Fries with pulled pork and home-made cheese sauce

He actually texted this pic to our co-workers to make them jealous too because they were THAT good.  I was also given the task of trying to make these at home but lightening them up as much as I could since this definitely was a splurge.  (The wheels in my head are spinning as they are with most new things we try).

Along with trying out new places to eat around town, froyo has become our new obsession.  Of course it doesn't help that there is a DIY frozen yogurt place only about a block away from RW fan's loft...so close that its perfect to walk to on a warm spring/summer night. 

Our bucket list for restaurants to try is growing by the minute and it has definitely made our date nights out even more exciting.

Btw, we luckily did not have any damage from the tornadoes that came through the area.  We were forced to the basement of RW fan's building since the front of his place is all windows but besides some torrential rainfall and flash flooding, we managed to stay out of the path of the storm.  My place was also spared thankfully!
