Lauderdale for Thanksgiving. The hotel we stay in has kitchen facilities, but not enough to cook a real turkey dinner for 25 people, so we always cater. The last few years we've used TooJay's. It's not bad, but it's not great, but the big advantage is that they're open on Thanksgiving Day, which many other places we've called aren't. We can pick up pretty much anywhere, but need to be able to pick up on Thursday. Does anyone have any better ideas? TooJay's is $7/lb, carved and decorated, including the potatoes, stuffing, gravy, and cranberry sauce. I don't mind spending more, especially for a higher quality product. Thanks!

Also, Publix can provide the turkey and all the fixings prepared for Thanksgiving as well.

Thanks for the ideas, though. Thu Nov 05 17:59:05 -0800 2009 5159552 18274 DanielK 3 5159780 Are you sure about Doris' being closed on Thanksgiving? For as far back as I can remember, I've ordered a fresh turkey from Doris' every holiday and one of the main reasons why I get it from them is that they are open on Thanksgiving day until 1:00 which allows me to have the extra space in my refrigerator.
