Grilled Quail with Soy and Ginger

"Grilled quail reminds me of when my family used to go to Portugal and rent a villa and cook on a little habachi grill," says David C. Felton, executive chef of Ninety Acres at Natirar. "One time me and my dad came back from the market with 2 kilo of quail and shrimp for a family of five!! It was enough food for three days, but a great memory."
