Need Thanksgiving Catering (NSFW)

Kroy · 11-16-2011, 01:22 PM

My close friends and I are having a thanksgiving get-together. Anyone have suggestions on good pre-made complete thanksgiving feasts we can buy in SoCal? I don't mind heating it up but I want something that has all the fixings.

Right now my options so far are:

1. Marie Calendars or supermarket. But I want a better feast than that. And Marie Calendar sides don't impress me. Missing things like green bean casserole.

2. Order a turdunken online and buy sides from another source. Not really sure where to get the sides.

3. Non-traditional meal catered from Lucilles or something. I don't like this option though; want my turkey.

4. Fried turkey? I've heard people talk about it but haven't tried it. Not sure where to purchase a good one either.

TIA for the help.

Hey bro same dilema here,
What you can do is order the turkey from Marie Calendars and buy sides from like Fresh & Easy, they usually have really good heat to eat food.

I'm skipping the turdeken because had it for2 years in a row and to be honest, it doesn't really impress me too much. I would rather have a really good turkey than 3 mediocre birds.

Fried turkey, my buddy tried frying one in his house and almost burned it down, might be b/c he might have been drunk but nevertheless heard its a pretty dangerous operation LOL.

boston market?

Turdunken no good? Picture looked pretty delicious and none of us have tried it before.

For the record, I will not be frying my own turkey if I choose to go that route.

Just sayin' - I'm from Louisiana and have had Turducken from both there (including the shop in New Orleans that started the trend) and Bristol Farms out here. Best is from Louisiana, particularly with either andouille sausage stuffing or crawfish stuffing, both are spicy and add flavor. Best thing about it is no bones (except for the legs) and feeds an army (or great leftovers for days).

Friend from Redondo Beach likes to fry his own turkeys and is frying one this Thanksgiving. Always does a great job and we all think its the best way to cook a turkey (including the several "foodies" in our group).

I think Bludso's in Compton does a mean fried turkey. The area isn't as scary as it sounds and is pretty normal looking during the day.

Too bad you're not in NorCal... I know a in-home caterer that is phenomenal.
