As diamond-in-the-rough stories go, this surely rates as one of the most delicious. With rumbly tummies and half an hour to kill on Hindley Street, Matt and I were looking for a feed. We contemplated the Woolshed, then thought better of it and decided to chance the Dog and Duck. After all, what did we have to lose? Well, eighteen dollars – not too bad a price, particularly considering that choosing the parmi incurred no extra charge. The restaurant was pretty quiet on a Wednesday night – aside from the friendly staff and a couple of people in the bar, we pretty much had the place to ourselves.
I had time for about one sip of my drink before our meals arrived – talk about express delivery! The salad was nicely presented, with the inclusion of cherry tomatoes a definite bonus. The chips were of excellent texture, salted and peppered to perfection, and of sufficient quantity. And the schnitzel – well, it was something to behold. A generous thickness, real chicken breast inside (none of that processed stuff), a crisp coating… this was what a schnitzel was supposed to be. 
Matt’s parmi looked an absolute treat, adorned with a veritable mountain of cheese. With each mouthful, the two of us knew that history was beckoning. Nothing else we had seen on our quest compared with what we were eating that night. It took immense restraint for me not to make my way into the kitchen and shake the chef’s hand, telling him that he had changed my life. And to think we almost went for the ten dollar Woolshed schnitty. How fortuitous that we had chosen to eat here.
The Verdict: Drop everything. Go to the Dog and Duck. Right now. Order the schnitty. Thank us later.
