Shima Aarhus

24/08/2026: After a tour of the entire Aarhus street food scene, my first choice was the "Duck You" burger from Duck It, along with a portion of duck-fat fries and a spicy dip. The burger consisted of confit duck, pickled red cabbage, a house sauce, and a fluffy brioche bun. In fact, the burger was a bit underwhelming and surprisingly bland. The duck was okay, but already somewhat dried out and not as juicy as one would expect from confit duck. Despite being pickled, the red cabbage definitely lacked punch and, above all, acidity. It wasn't bad by any means, but I had expected a much stronger flavor explosion overall. So, for me, the burger unfortunately landed in the average range. The fries, on the other hand, were top-notch. The type of fat used for frying really makes a difference, and you could taste it immediately. They were also perfectly salted and beautifully crispy. The accompanying spicy dip, however, was unfortunately just spicy, lacking any truly complex flavor profile. A bit of a shame.
