La Tour d'Argent is famous for its 'canard au sang', a duck dish created by Frédéric Delair, who began numbering every duck served at the restaurant.
The Prince of Wales, who became Edward VII, was served duck number 328 in 1890; Emperor Hirohito, number 53,211; John F. Kennedy, number 245,200.
La Tour d'Argent served its one-millionth duck in 2003.
