tapioca lo mein, chinese broccoli, garlic, krill
love the tiny krill they sprinkle on top to give this dish a punch of umami, delicious.

roasted duck crispy rice, citrus, dates, turnips, black tea infused duck broth
If you like duck and you like rice and you like crispy, this can’t be fucking beat. currently my favorite dish at majordomo and in la. the duck is softer than the 76ers defense and tender AF, like a perfectly medium rare prime rib. the rice is also outstanding, moist and crispy at the same time. the server mentioned they might be swapping this dish out soon so if you like duck and haven’t tried it yet (@Chowseeker1999, @TheCookie, @attran99, @A5KOBE, @Bookwich) time may be running out.

Damn. I need to rally the troops. I just saw them last week and we agreed Bavel and A trip to see Leo in Altadena would be our next trips out. May need to change to Majordomo instead.

Got a load of those mulberries in my backyard right now. Truly they are nature’s candy.

I was tempted to order the berries just for the mulberries. Don’t get offered those very often.

I was thinking the same thing!!! I’m tired of waiting for other people. Delicious @PorkyBelly! That banana dessert sounds like the perfect banana dessert for me, because I like banana but not banana. :slight_smile: Do I get a prize for how many times I say banana?

You have a mulberry tree?? I didn’t know we could grow those here.

I would love to share that duck rice with a couple friends, all convivial.

But when I look at those scallops? I get greedy and want to sit at the bar by myself so I can eat them all, by myself.

that’s the work of christina tosi. waits until bananas go completely black and shrunken before using them. i do that now then mix with peanut butter, whip and freeze and eat like soft serve.

Sure can. My backyard Pakistani mulberries (above), compared with Persian mulberries from the Santa Monica Farmer’s Market (below)…

Hate to be that guy . . .
But those sad berries on the bottom are also a Pakistani cultivar. They are a white Pakistani cultivar. Unfortunately, even at the SMFM, a lot of the Pakistani mulberries are underripe, dry, and lackluster.

YOUR mulberries look amazing!

I had no idea they were a backyard tree. I thought mulberries were a specialty crop that only professionals could grow properly in our climate. Now I want to plant mulberries! Thank you.
