Thanksgiving Dinner at a local restaurant

[Bobwhite]

I haven't seen ALDI ever offer the bargains for turkey like the main stores do around Thanksgiving. All of the major stores usually have at least ONE brand they're willing to sell at dirt cheap prices. Which subsequently go WAY UP afterward.

Same thing is true on corned beef. I recently had this yen to make Reubens at home - we always have rye, swiss and Russian dressing, so - why not go out and get some corned beef? And then - damn. REALLY expensive at the deli and whole briskets were nearly as expensive. Even the POINT CUTS were expensive - whereas around St Pattie's Day, they sometimes sell for 2-3 dollars a pound.

Deep frying a turkey to me has become a fun challenge which I try to perfect every year - mix up the brine, find ways to cook it hotter, dry it out better, cook smaller - and I guess not happening this time.

I don't care for corned beef. I like my Reubens made with turkey. YUM!

Several. They also feed homeless people, those in need of a hand up, families that may not be well off, etc. I know several people that volunteer their services to those kitchen; some are even on this forum. Good people, all of them, providing a service that feeds more than just druggies. They're always looking for volunteers - got some extra time on your hands?

No. Busy watching the parade, then food and football.

I merely tolerate stuffed ham. To me it’s just - ham. With greens.

Sam, Sam, Sam...... I always like you. But now, I can't.

GOOD stuffed ham is delicious.

OK I will forgive you....

I saw them on Sunday, I thought they may have been less than that. Butterball.

Speaking of Aldi, I have seen comments on the Aldi FB group of people raving about the sweet potato casserole with the crumble topping. I didn't see that in the frozen section but will be looking for them in the near future.

In the center freezer section, bought 2 today!!!!!!

Are they still open? Last time I eat there (lunch) was back in the early 2000's. I was thinking to myself, "How does this place stay open?"

For your consideration ...


Back in the day, Thanksgiving was had at the restaurant in Landover Mall after taking in a movie. It's not there anymore. Wouldn't go to a mall nowadays anyway.

They have a good lunch crowd and a loyal following.

The ambience reminded me of a B-grade horror movie.

Last time I was there the dressings on the salad bar were festering. I ended up getting my meal to go and throwing it out.

I don't call it a Rubin. I call it a Turkey Reuben.

I think it is called a Rachael.

The only time I had a Rachel was years ago at a Perkins restaurant. It was turkey, cole slaw, thousand island dressing, swiss cheese. It was good. I have never seen a Rachel on any other menu.
