What do you get when you combine Michelin-starred culinary training with a hint of whimsy? Duck Sel, the private dining concept from Chef Donald Young. It's hard not to smile when you have a bite from Duck Sel, paired with dry ice and equally magical storytelling.

Don has always been creative and someone who pushes against the grain, a fan of heavy metal and studded belts. But it took going back to the kitchen time and time again to really enjoy food and expand his palate under the mentorship of famed Chef Roland Liccioni. Donald fell in love with French cuisine, even completing his culinary school internship in France, but knew he wanted to take classical technique and turn it on its head. Donald ended up becoming one of the youngest chefs to earn a Michelin star at Temporis, and he finally decided to strike out on his own with Duck Sel. The universe kept calling him back to his private dining concept—and it’s calling to you to book your experience ASAP!
