Fall came and went at the AAR pretty quickly.  We finished it off with quite a week!  I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard in my life while having so much fun.  In addition to our regular meal service schedule, we had to prep a bunch of stuff each day and night for the big meal on Thursday.  Luckily, I love Thanksgiving, I love turkey and I love stuffing.  Oh, and I love eating it all, preferably together, on bread with cranberry sauce.  And mustard.  Weird?  No.  Delicious.

We began with 13 turkeys and a turkey beauty contest to choose the prettiest, bustiest one.  This is the winner.

I actually, very surprisingly, have few pictures of the food because I was running around doing so many things.  I was also shooting a lot of video which will be up soon once I cut out all of the sassy lip.  Here’s Mona, ready to direct traffic.

And then we’re off: feast and GO.

Our two dashing waiters, Alessandro and Gabri with our showturkey, the winner of the turkey beauty contest.

There were also so many pies.  Pumpkin, fresh, obviously and apple.  Also fresh, obviously.  Pretty darn yummy.

Happy, happy diners.  One hundred and five in all.

A little post feast wiffle ball with the Rudester and the director, Chris.  Go America.

And finally, some delicious wines to celebrate and very successful thanksgiving.
