fatface

Aaahhhh!!!! Monday!!!!

I haven't posted about this place yet because I was waiting for my writeup to come out, but Fatface sandwiches and popsicles is the most interesting place to eat in Davis right now. It's on 4th and L street, with limited hours. Just Wednesday thru Friday for lunch, and maybe weekends but I don't care because I'm never in Davis on the weekend.

Check out this menu! Last Friday I split the Korean pork and the beer-poached figs with a coworker.
Here's Jaymes at work. Read about her here.
Here's the Korean pork. You can see there is a bit too much fat in the sandwich, which is usually true for me with her pork, because she uses a mix of pork belly and loin. However, it was not as fatty as that looks and was still mighty tasty. I love a sandwich with slaw.
Here's the beer-poached fig with arugula and caramelized onions. That is goat cheese not mayo. Very rich.
And just to crow about Magpie a bit more, I had such a superb and satisfying and gourmet yet economical meal there on Friday. We split the duck confit for an entree and it was fucking delicious. Every dish that was served to us had the beauty in presentation of fine dining.

Wow! With the lentils, that looks like the best meal. How was the duck seasoned?
