I'm thinking food-wise, of course, and wondering not just where to get the ultra-traditional US of A meal but if there might also be a country/city/restaurant that does an amazing adaptation with local ingredients/techniques. —Matt Wed Oct 28 05:47:28 -0700 2009 31055 worldmatt 1 5143187 I can't point you to any specific restaurant, but I'd look to the Philippines because its history as an American colony has given it a long-standing cultural relationship with the USA.

Dukes does a buffet dinner with everything/anything you could think of appropriate for a Thanksgiving feast. Owned and run by a guy from Chicago. 2. Bake and Bite -- Perfect turkey dinner with all the fixin's. Not much on atmosphere. Owned and operated by a Thai woman who lived in the US for many years. Both are traditional American dinners. i don't think I'd want a Thai-inspired one. I'll be at one of the two this Thanksgiving.
