Marx Brothers DUCK SOUP Wednesday Night at Lamar



DUCK SOUP with Duck Feast
Wednesday 7:00 At Lamar
Tickets (Feast or Movie-Only) Here.


As our deep recession keeps looking more like a Depression we look back on the really hard times of the '30s when people learned the value of laughter through the anarchic comic stylings of the Marx Brothers. The inimitable Groucho, with his leer, his cigar and his mustache; Chico, who unraveled the English language like no one else; Harpo, who brought the brilliant comedy of the silent era into the talkie age; and of course Zeppo, who was always on time with a pressed shirt.

DUCK SOUP is their greatest comedy and we'll take the nonsensical title as all the excuse we need to prepare an opulent duck feast including the savory soup of the title. And after eating the rest of the duck we're sure you won't even mind the bill. Check out this menu:

1st
Duck confit, fresh flax cracker, strawberry-garlic jam, aged gruyere

2nd
Duck soup ala Groucho

3rd
Seared duck breast-meyer lemon glaze- wild mushroom barley and braised kale

4th
Duck egg-goats milk ice cream with coco nib-peanut crisp
