But the interior bustle is friendly and invigorating (unlike clogged Baby GAP's soul-sucking atmosphere) and the jolly servers will probably get you to grin. You'll smile even broader if you order the duck confit sandwich, a truly stunning collaboration of fatty fowl and fromage.
A generous mound of succulent but not greasy duck is heaped onto thick slices of grainy wheat bread then topped with brie, arugula, and cranberry jelly. The ambient heat from the confit further softens the tender brie, whose pleasantly pungent flavor pairs well with the tart fruit preserves.
As in the case of all of Local Foods' splendiferous sammies, the duck confit comes with your choice of sides. They're all good (seriously), but if you demand a best-to-"worst" hierarchy, here goes: tuscan kale, cabbage slaw, acorn squash, quinoa, olives, couscous, and house-made chips.
The duck confit sandwich is $15, not inexpensive, but the holidays are all about indulgence, yes? And remember how much you saved on Black Friday, anyway.
