Bad Luck for the Duck

The White Duck Taco Shop's flagship location was a Quonset hut located on the French Broad River just a little past its confluence with the Swannanoa in what is known as the River Arts District of Asheville. It was devastated, as was most of that district, during Hurricane Helene two years ago; last night, the remnants seem to have burned

There are however a few other locations, and if any of you happen through Asheville it's got a pretty neat menu. In addition to fairly traditional tacos, they put a number of things into a taco that might usually occur to someone. I recommend you try the more extravagant options. There are plenty of good taqueria around the South these days, but it's not just everywhere you can get Thai peanut chicken in a taco, nor chicken Tikka Masala; the latter I suppose is a Mexican-inspired Indian-inspired British-inspired American dish.
