Be ready for Thanksgiving

Thursday, November 23

We would like to share with you some good tips to prepare a delicious Thanksgiving menu.

If you love cooking new recipes and prepare meals for beloved ones, check the recipes on these websites:

- Epicurious suggests 10 ways to cook the turkey and tips to choose the perfect bird.

- Whole Foods offers recipes and a complete guide to prepare your Thanksgiving dinner.

- If you refuse to be involved in this year turkey massacre (45 millions of innocent turkeys killed and swallowed in just one day in the US! ), prepare a vegan dinner.

If you don't have time to cook anything decent this year, here are some good catering options:

- Relax and rely on Whole Foods catering, which offers many "Thanksgiving dinner packages", from the intimate turkey dinner and the traditional turkey dinner, to the vegan dinner. Order online and in advance.

- Bi-Rite Market with its 2 locations in SF or online.

- Gus's Community Market either on Harrison, Haight or Noriega.

- And don't forget to check our selection of butcheries throughout the city from Olivier's Butchery in the Dogpatch to Guerra on Taraval.

If you just want to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving dinner with no hassle, go to one of the many restaurants in San Francisco with a Thanksgiving menu. Here is the list!

With a French touch, you could try...

Chapeau on Clement Street

BISOU on Market, bistronomy syle.

Left Bank in th Bay, North and South

MATHILDE, French Bistro in SOMA.

But also GARÇON in the Mission.

If you look forward to your dinner but are afraid of the calories, start your day with some exercice! Sign-up to Turkey Trail Trot, for the run (5 miles) or the family walk (3 miles). Be prepared to wake up early... It all begins at 8am, at the Polo Field, Golden Gate Park.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, and bon appetit!
