Thanks to the fabulous Chef Ken Duckworth, along with his wonderfully welcoming and hard working staff, for making a Valentine’s to remember. Duckworth’s was overflowing with guests last night–no one wanted to leave as it was so warm and cozy there–and Tom and I just had the best time catching up with neighborhood friends. We all relished in our good fortune to be seated at the Duckworth’s Table for Valentine’s Day. Thank you Chef Ken and Family for the Best Ever Valentine’s Day Dinner!

Lobster Risotto Ken Duckworth ©Kim Smith 2015Chef Ken’s Sublime Lobster Risotto ~ Tip: order the full serving and eat half (not to worry, the portions are hugely generous). Eat the other half for lunch the following day–doubly delish! Apologies please, my grainy phone photos don’t do this favorite dish justice.

    1. Thanks again for writing Anonymous (Brian). No, as you know, I do no work there, although I do consider the Duckworth’s and their staff wonderful neighbors and friends. Duckworth’s contributes tremendously to our community, in so many ways, and we are so very blessed to have them right here in our neighborhood!

      Another favorite is Passports and even though our son now works there, I’ll still continue to feature them on Good Morning Gloucester as well. We are so fortunate in our community to have such a wealth of fantastic choices for dining out, and the restaurants that have lasting success are also, generally speaking, operated by some of the nicest people you can imagine.

      I hope you and your beautiful daughter are enjoying the weather–Happy Snowy Days!
