This is the Money Shot. When Gabe gathered us in front of the plucking shed, aprons, bonnets, gloves and …ducks, of course, for a group portrait, I knew this was the one I would blow up to frame in my rogues gallery at Camont. Now, returned to base camp at the kitchen-at-Camont, I’ve barely had time to look back as I launch a week of Camp Confit with  newly arrived folks but here are a few of my favorite shots out of the wonderful group at http://www.flickr.com/groups/duckfest2010/.

So here’s to all my ducky new buddies and especially to Neal Foley, aka Podchef, master Twittermeister and good food advocate extraordinaire. Thanks for a wonderful memorable first twitter-induced event Duckfest 2010. watch this space for more tips, trucs and recipes as we cook our French Fat ducks this week at Camont. For more complete reportage about events, meals and the usual suspects check here, here and here.

These twittering farm hands belong to none other than Podchef, himself.
