Black Duck
 

Going to the the Black Duck cafe in Ct. for a late lunch today if anyone is around .

We would of come over by boat if we knew you were there bobcat. What did you think of the new look? It was completely renovated 3 months ago.

looked good, mike conner was behind the bar, lots of key west pics(he was a funny guy) some pics of me and my gal,I always thought the boat was bigger(middle pic) loved watching the boat ramp across the river, saw at least three husband and wife arguments, plus bought a new t shirt, place was packed.

Glad you had a good time. I helped my Dad get all that artwork from Key West. That Cougar cub was the 1983 Cougar Cub world champion!

Wolfie(Conners) is the man.

I'll catch you next year, or I might come back up when there is enough snow to ski.

Shoot, just saw this....would have joined you if I had saw it earlier....definitely will have to set something up next time you are around!!!

The Black Duck on The Food Network?!?!
 

Yup! The Duck was just recently chosen to be on the Food Network for a show called Diners, Drive-Ins and Dive hosted by Guy Fieri ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/show_dv) . Looks like they will do most of the filming the weekend of Oct 4th and 5th (not sure of the exact date but one of those days is going to be when they interview the customers) and Guy will be filming on the 7th. I might have to see if I can get a couple of boats there to tie up in front of the place just for effect (really I just want to get my boat on camera :p )

Anyway, my dad is super excited so if anyone is around the southwestern part of CT please stop by that weekend (or any weekend for that matter!!). :ernaehrung004:

Oh yeah, the Wolfie Burger will be out in full effect....I may even let them film me trying to eat one!! :p

wheres the Black Duck? I live in Ct and never heard of it.....

Me and my girlfriend took her niece and nephew there for lunch yesterday and took a few pics of the kids in the mini boats out front. That hydroplane was the first boat me and Big Time bought. Cost us $60 bucks, but we never did anything with it. My Dad painted and lettered it and stuck it out front.

tcuda,

The place is located in Westport, CT on the Saugatauk River. It may be a little out of your way being that it is probably close to an hr away from Bristol, but if you are ever down this neck of the woods I would def recommend stopping in to take a look at some pics of race boats old and new and also to sample the wings, which they are well know for. Let me know if you ever want to try the place out, I'll try to me you there for a cold one. :ernaehrung004:

Is the floor still slanted???

T2x

Indeed!

About 15 or so years ago there was major construction done where they drove a bunch of steel I beams through the foundation to make sure that it wasn't going anywhere. Apparently the Duck could have been leveled off at that point but no one could imagine it w/out the slant....so the Duck is still slanted towards the water today (and is still confusing all of the drunks!!!!:drink:). I guess it adds a little bit of character to the place :cool:

Of course! He would never change that part of the "experience"

you have to be careful that you don't get too much speed as you go to the restroom.

As I recall the bathroom floors were not slanted, so if you were half in the bag and had "adjusted" your footing to the listing condition....as you stepped into the John...you fell down........ :D :D
