Thanksgiving catering suggestions?

hill38 · November 2006

I've been charged to find a place that will cater a small fam Thanksgiving dinner (about 4 people). I've priced out Jive Turkey, but their sides are lacking, to me. I'm also going to price Garden of Eden.

Can anyone help me with more recs? I'm trying to find a place that offers a bird + a few basic sides (stuffing, a vegetable, mac and cheese). Any extras would be nice but the budget is about $200--hopefully less.

I think Applewood has Thanksgiving catering options for everything but the turkey.

the applewood website wrote: Our holiday menu includes:
sweet potato puree or herbed new potatoes
roasted fall root vegetables
butternut squash soup
fresh cranberry chutney
pecan stuffing
roasted chestnuts
turkey gravy

$45 for accompaniments for two people
$75 for accompaniments for four people
$140 for accompaniments for eight people
$175 for accompaniments for 10 people

I'm sure their sides would be really tasty. They also have turkeys, but their site says that they can't guarantee turkeys if the oder is placed after 11/7 (I'd call to check it out if you want one). And they have punpkin pie (sold separately).

FYI: I have no financial or other kind of connection with Applewood. I've eaten there once and enjoyed my meal greatly, and I'm on their e-mail list.

Dean and Deluca maybe? I remember ordering a Xmas goose dinner from them a few years ago. It was pretty good. I believe the price was under $200 for four people. Also, the Popeye's on Parkside and Flatbush is offering whole cajun turkeys. I think they offer the best sides in all of NYC. And their biscuits, greasy and fake buttery taste that they are, I think are culinary delights. Whomever you order from though, tell them you want the pope's nose kept on the turkey. That is the best part of the bird.

did you look at fresh direct? I got an email from them about it, and apparently they're using organic birds.
