Jody Adams, Rialto
Roast duck with roasted fingerlings and olives “That dish has its own life, completely independent of me. It’s like a child. So I can’t hate it. Though I know on my gravestone it will probably say something about that bloody duck.” (The Charles Hotel, One Bennett St., Cambridge, 617-661-5050, rialto-restaurant.com)

Gabriel Bremer, Salts
Roast duck for two “I’m going to get in trouble for saying this, but I’m not a fan of this whole single-signature-dish thing…we’ve been introducing specialty tasting menus in order to get people away from the duck.” (798 Main St., Cambridge, 617-876-8444, saltsrestaurant.com)

Molly Hanson, Grill 23 & Bar
Crème brûlée “When I eat out, my friends talk about ordering crème brûlée. I can’t even order it, I get so sick of making it.” (161 Berkeley St., Boston, 617-542-2255, grill23.com)

Barbara Lynch, No. 9 Park
Beet salad with blue cheese “That salad was on the menu for eight years. I just couldn’t take it anymore. So last fall we killed it off.” (9 Park St., Boston, 617-742-9991, no9park.com)
