TURKEY DAY

RJ said:

Several restaurants in the Tucson area
have run their Thanksgiving Day ads in the paper.

Low price seems to be around $30 per person.
Highest price I found was $85 per person.

( tax & tip extra )

Holy [censored]! Turkey costs less than ground beef. You can buy a just as
good if not better heat n' eat turkey dinner from your stupidmarket's
frozen food section for $3, no tax, no tip. For $85 I can feed ten
people a turkey dinner, as good as from any restaurant, probably
better... BYOB.

Never been to a restaurant, eh? You're paying for more than just
the food.

You should try it sometime -= to see how food is really cooked.

Most likely better, but then you have to cook it yourself. Since
Thanksgiving is traditionally a family celebration, it means that you have
to have other people over for dinner. That means cleaning up the house, do
all the preparation work, invite the relatives that you want to be
with...... and those you don't want to but have to because they are family.
By having it in a restaurant you don't get stuck with leftover turkey for a
week and a half.

However....... I have never had decent turkey in a restaurant.The gravy
sucks. The stuffing sucks. Worst of all, they usually have canned cranberry
sauce. Yech. That stuff is wretched. How hard can it be to put some
cranberries in a pot with some water and sugar and boil it for a few
minutes? Most people buy their pumpkin pies, so they are going to be as bad
as the commercially made pies in a restaurant. Maybe the $85 per person
would be a good turkey dinner, but if I am paying that much for a dinner,
it isn't going to be turkey.

You guys should move Thanksgiving up to the secodn Monday in October like
we do. Then you can have a patio party BBQ instead of foul fowl. Besides,
it would give you a two month break between turkeyfests.

The only memorable Thanksgiving Day dinner I've ever had in a
restaurant was in Peacock Alley at the Waldorf. One of the choices
was wild turkey, which I really enjoyed. (I generally don't like
turkey). The entire meal from beginning to end was a delight. This
was probably 10 years or so ago, and I think out total bill was under
$200. We didn't consider that excessive, given the environment and
quality of food.

We normally have Thanksgiving Day dinner at home.

The most memorable Thanksgiving Day I ever had -- and I say that because
it's the only one I 'really, really' remember is about 10 years ago. We had
all the things ready to go (at our home) and DH's mom and dad, DH and I got
up late (from staying up late chatting), so the next day we all said to hell
with it, and jumped in the car and the only place we could find open was a
Howard Johnson's sandwich-type shop. We ate our turkey dinner there (they
were actually serving turkey that day) I believe there were about 2 other
couples there.

LOL One restaurant where I worked hyped up the Thanksgiving dinner thing in
advertisements and also in the employees' heads as though we were going to
be overrun by hoards of people that day. And it was *mandatory* you worked
that day. So what happened? We were all standing around, bored out of our
skulls. Oh well!

Ooooh.. how about a motion triggered video recorder? Then share the
results after dinner for an eye opener. I just can't believe this woman
sees herself accurately.

I think that I must have missed an interesting story.
