Duck & Waffle Honey Butter Stack (Brian M. Inspired)

It begins with contrast.

Duck slow rendered until the fat breaks down

and the skin crisps into something that snaps when touched.

Deep flavor, rich, almost heavy, but controlled,

built over time, not rushed.

Then the waffles, golden, structured,

slightly crisp on the outside, soft inside,

made to carry weight.

Because this isn't a side, it's the foundation.

The duck sits on top, not beside it.

That matters, because what comes next

ties everything together.

Butter melts first, smooth, warm.

Then honey folds into it thickening just enough

to coat instead of run wild.

It's poured slow, not rushed.

Hitting the duck first, sliding across the crisp skin,

then dripping into the waffle pockets below.

That's where it lands.

Sweet meat's savory.

Crisp meets odd, rich meets smooth.

On camera, it's a single motion.

The poor, the soak, the cut, the waffle breaks,

the duck holds, the sauce moves.

That balance, that's the loop.
