Just wanted to state briefly for the record that the meal I had at Piedmont last night was one of the best meals I've ever eaten, anywhere. Specifically: the duck-liver mousse & the pork belly, while collectively subtracting about 18 years from my life, left me in a state of utter ecstasy that I'm still kinda buzzed on.

Those people are making amazing food, in a beautiful understated space, and they're charging $5 too little for nearly every item on the menu. By the time we left, at around 8:30 on a Monday night, nearly every table was full. Abby said that the weekends are already cram-packed. Go on a weeknight (and leave any fat-phobias you may harbor at home, I guess), and while you're enjoying yr meal, take a minute to marvel at the fact that 2 of the owner/operators of the joint also played a big role in the recording of one of the best local CDs of 2006, Erie Choir's "Slighter Awake." Go Durham.

p.s. lunch at Rue Cler, while marred by a few too many canned/jarred ingredients, did feature some fucking delicious bread courtesy of our own Kevin Farmer. It's fresh daily at 2:00 p.m, and while the long-term plan seems to be that you order yr bread by noon for pickup at 2:00, here at the beginning it appears to be a fairly safe play to just show up at 2:00 and grab a loaf. Had it again for breakfast this morning. Outstanding.
