A special, the dish deserves a permanent place on the menu, perhaps replacing the awful crab cake, which was more like a pancake made of breading.
Pheasant choucroute, another German-inflected dish, deserves a host of imitations.
Uneven cooking left pork roast desiccated in some parts, acceptably moist in others — but given the deliciously different side of smashed yucca and charred grape tomatoes, the dish deserves a second try.
This dish deserved another try, especially since it came with excellent fried rice (not at all greasy) mixed with a dice of aromatic vegetables.
This is possibly not the red-carpet reception his dish deserves".The flour wouldn't normally go into boil," he says, very decently, I think, as it starts to set like crusts of bread in the bubbles.
This is not a dish that deserves to be rushed.
Those short of time might prefer to use Buxton's leg pieces on the bone, which only need cooking for a couple of hours, though I'm slightly of the opinion that this is a dish that deserves a bit of love, and you're probably better off making something else.

Also terrific is a classic leeks vinaigrette with minced preserved egg yolk and a tangy-hot mustard sauce ($13), a dish that deserves wider presence in restaurants.
Even side dishes deserved full attention: duck-fat-roasted fingerlings paired richness with a wafting of fresh parsley; sweet, tender spring vegetables were refreshed with mint.
Two other dishes deserve — no, demand — mention here.
