Looking for an inexpensive, home cooked Thanksgiving dinner!

With my (picky) Dad. He has vetoed all of my suggestions so far. The Pantry would be perfect, but he shot that one down because they don't serve booze (can't say I blame him for that one). He flat-out refuses to do the $50 pp pre-fix. If I don't find a place soon, we are ending up at Marie Callenders. Help! I've seen the other threads about this subject, but none of the suggestions worked. Here's the criteria...Must be traditional, home-cooked Thanksgiving meal, under $20 bucks pp (not including booze), must serve booze, and be in the general vicinity of Hollywood (although West Hollywood, eastside and downtown will work.) Also, we've already done Jerry's and Cantors, so those are out, as he wasn't into their Thanksgiving dinners. Nothing fancy (i.e. no butternut tarts, cranberry foam or pumpkin mousse) Turkey. Stuffing. Mashed potatoes. Sides. Cranberry sauce and pie. Thanks for your help!

      There's no price on their website, Tam O'Shanter is very popular for TGiving but it would be a (pleasant) surprise if it fit schrutefarms's budget. (And I'd be even more surprised if they're still taking reservations.)

      I think his choice of Cat & the Fiddle is perfect.

      Hmm, how about Lawry's ... but it's $29/person, however.

          Any of the MiMi's Cafes - ok turkey dinner w/all the fixins. They serve wine and beer. Under $20 pp. Reservations required.
