I'm Cajun, and down in Louisiana we think nothing of combining several different meats in one meal, even if we're not refined about it. It's kind of funny because you don't see that as much in other American cuisines. At most they might take a beef tenderloin and wrap bacon around it, or put pork and beef on a pizza. I haven't had rabbit since I was a kid. Sometimes with the skyrocketing food prices and the questionable safety of industrial meat, I contemplate raising my own for the meat, since they are considered pet animals and therefore wouldn't be illegal in a city. Don't know how my cat or my daughter would deal with it, though. A dinner at a French restaurant is such a remote possibility for me at this point as to be nearly impossible. But it's something to which I now aspire. Yum... Wow, now I guess I know where this Turducken business comes from.

Next time you roll into town, we should go eat! Dean: I'm all for vegetarian meals, at my own choosing. But there is nothing like real duck fat. Tasty! Jonathan: I did see that episode, and I knew it wasn't a Friday night. It totally made me chuckle. The 'FNG'. HA! Miniducky: Awesome! Next time you roll into town, we should go eat!

Rather amusing. I know you don’t have cable, but did you see the new episode of No Reservations on the Travel Channel where Bourdain goes back to being a line cook at Les Halles for a night?

I am now loving Anthony Bourdain as well; it's too bad I still haven't caught his show. Funny you mention both Les Halles and Bistro Jeanty, we were debating if we should try Bistro Jeanty when we were in Yountville last year.
