"There’s a distinct Texas twang to Odd Duck. It’s wood smoke, fire, chiles, game, and Gulf Coast seafood, with a menu that riffs on classic Texan dishes like tamales, cornbread, green chili pork shoulder, or icebox cake. The menu at this upbeat, semi-casual South Lamar restaurant gets revamped at a rapid-fire pace. From day to day, week to week, every dish is subject to change, either because of seasonality (hell, they even have their own farm), the chefs’ whims, or how the wind’s blowing. It’s the kind of place you go back to over and over again, and it never gets old." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, raphael brion
