Thanksgiving at Boatyard Again this Year

[Toni]

We DO have a lot to be Thankful for this year! Boatyard is doing their famous Thanksgiving Dinner again, and we have a sneak peek at the menu! Also... this year, you can call ahead and order your Thanksgiving Dinner "Family Style."
Chef Konrad will carve your turkey tableside and load your table with giant steaming platters of veggies and all the fixings... just like Grandma's house! Plus, you get to take all the leftovers home! (There's nothing better than Thanksgiving leftovers the next day! Cold Turkey and cranberry sauce on hot toasted break is a tradition at my house!)

Anyway, everyone has been asking, so I stole the menu...

Wow Toni...that menu sounds incredible! I haven't been to the Boatyard yet...but that menu makes me want to give up traditional Thanksgiving here at home...and drive the two hours from Pensacola to PCB for some of the Boatyard's incredible sounding food!

[linsue]

I say, "Go for it Kim!!!!" Whatcha waitin' on?

[kim221998]

lol...I might do that if I can the rest of the household...as much as I spend on groceries for the holiday...I'd probably actually save money..lol

[linsue]

Sounds like a plausible excuse to use.......

[Toni]

Y'all let me know if you are coming! I'll make sure they send 'round a little something extra!
I have some sway with the chef!

[kim221998]

[kim221998]

Sounds like a plausible excuse to use.......

T...you are hilarious :lol:

I wish I could put us ALL on a plane and wing our way to a turkey wing..but alas it is not meant to be. However, your generosity/connections need to be respected. When I am coming on a non holiday visit, I just might ask you to look deeply into that magic chef (get it) favor bag for a fav at Boatyard...did I mention their chef and his menu are #1 :smile:

So glad to see you on the space 8)

[linsue]

That's awesome Toni! Thanks for the directions. I'll be there in spirit.

[Mrs Peel]

Toni, we are definitely coming & bringing 2 other couples with us! All the way from Indiana & Michigan!

[stubby]

Toni, we are definitely coming & bringing 2 other couples with us! All the way from Indiana & Michigan!

Mrs Peel...I am sooo jealous!! :mrgreen: I so wanted to be down there at Thanksgiving, but it just didn't work out.
Hey, was up your way over the weekend, and paid 1.95 for gas.
Still 2.13 down here.
Anyway, have a GREAT time in PCB over turkey day. I will be thinking of you... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[sweet2]

My oldest son has abandoned me on Thanksgiving. He is cooking dinner for his "other' side of the family. (my x) just great so it is just me and my other son and his girlfriend. Sure wish I could figure out a way to make a road trip to PCB for Tgiving dinner. If I lived closer I would do it in a heartbeat. You folks that live close I envy you.

[Mrs Peel]

We had a fantastic Thanksgiving dinner at the Boatyard! I got the lobster stuffed grouper & the hubby got the key lime garlic shrimp and we shared. Awesome as usual! It seemed like a lot of people were doing the Thanksgiving dinner with the turkey carved at the table & I must admit, it smelled wonderful. All these gorgeous turkeys kept rolling by our table and people were happily walking out with tons of leftovers.
After sharing 2 (or was it 3?) of bottles of wine with our friends, we girls were singing along with the musicians as they played their rendition of the Turtles "So Happy Together". Our waiter walked by, shook his head & said it might be time to cut us off.
Got back to the condo in time for another sunset in paradise!
Thanks again, Boatyard! See you next year!
