Family-owned duck producer Joe Jurgielewicz & Son is making restaurant-quality duck accessible to home cooks with celebrity chef-inspired meal kits, branded as Plated By. The inaugural meal kit, available exclusively at TastyDuck.com in early November 2025, was created with culinary innovator Chef JRob. The Plated By Chef JRob kit includes two separate recipes: Tasty Thai Duck Quarters and Tasty Duck Gumbo.
Consumers are increasingly cooking more meals at home and seeking alternatives to chicken, beef, pork and fish. Duck has transitioned from being a limited special at many restaurants to a staple on menus.
“We are thrilled to bring the restaurant experience home with Chef JRob, making it simple for families to enjoy top-tier duck for a weeknight meal or a special occasion,” said Joey Jurgielewicz III, director of business development at Joe Jurgielewicz & Son.
