Duck, Duck, Brews

If you’re looking to round out your weekend dining plans, Gut Check recommends a stop at Rustico in Alexandria. Word on the street is Chef Steve Mannino is debuting two new menu items: a decadent duck prosciutto with summer melon, and a swordfish club with bacon, chili mayo and lemon parsley chips. Sounds like summer in a sandwich to me.
And speaking of summer, for those of us left to endure the fluvial humidity of the season, let’s not forget the frosty suds list at Rustico tips the scales at 330 plus, and their wood-fired pies run the gamut from traditional pepperoni to duck confit and cracklins.
Pizza and beer night will never be the same.
