Bird-in-Hand Family Restaurant Thanksgiving
By Kevin Williams
Well, how about leaving all the cooking and dishes to someone else next week? Â Wow, I can sometimes see the merit to that. Â I mean, you actually get to visit with one another instead of having Mom pinned down by the cranberries and stuffing in the kitchen. Â No dishes. Â Just fully bellies and good conversation and, honestly, I'm, not so sure that the cost of eating out vs. in on Thanksgiving is that different. Â So if you are going to eat Thanksgiving supper out, why not do so with an Amish flair?
Most Amish-style restaurants are closed on Thanksgiving. Â Still, if you are near Yoder's Restaurant in Sarasota, consider ordering a pie...well, actually it is probably too late to order one now, but you could try. Â They turn out 7,000 pies in the days before Thanksgiving each year. Â Other dining options that use Amish recipes and probably some Amish cooks to prepare:
The Der Dutchman Amish-themed restaurants are all closed on Thanksgiving Day, but they do have a mighty good-sounding Thanksgiving carry-out that you can pick up the day before, see the whole menu here.
