Thanksgiving at Spruce

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday of the year, period. When I was a kid, we used to have huge feasts that seemed to last all day and mysteriously re-appear for the next week in various disguises. Thanksgiving dinner is a ritual. You know exactly whats gonna happen.

11am: Dress up nice for the in laws and wear the biggest pants you have
1pm: Full Thanksgiving mode, food on the table, biggest decision, more stuffing or stealing the rest of the dark meat you hid below all the carved white meat
2pm: very close to bursting, mind says keep going, stomach urges you to stop. Note: always listen to your stomach
3pm: waddling around like an overweight penguin, strategically planning how to lure cousin from sofa to snag the "thanksgiving nap", tell him grandma wants to talk to him, works every time
4pm: quiet slumber, can't get dreams of flying turkeys out of my head
5pm: you would think not possible but craving a turkey, cranberry and mayo sandwich, b-line to the kitchen
6pm: can not stand the smell of turkey any more, till next year.

Well, we may be far away from home, but cooking Thanksgiving dinner is for me one of the highlights of my year. I love it. We have two options this year. You can book a family style feast in our private dining room with a whole roasted turkey and all the fixin's or come in for a 3 course set that has everything on one plate. Either way a great way to spend the night. Please call the restaurant to book your spots now. Cheers!
