FIM HOLIDAY: Your Own Gourmet Thanksgiving Feast

Here’s the thing: Thanksgiving can be quite burdensome if you’re cooking at home, not to mention all the cleanup headaches. So why not leave it to the epicureans at The Ritz-Carlton in Coconut Grove to do all the cooking? For $105 (plus tax and gratuity), you get a wonderful feast that feeds up to eight guests, with a selection that should please any true gastronome: porcini and velouté of sunchokes soup; harvest fall salad with frisée, spinach, endives, cranberries and spiced pecans; roasted tom turkey with giblet gravy; orange rosemary corn stuffing with spiced pecans; roasted sweet and yukon potato country mash with truffles; a festive medley of fall harvest veggies; and a homemade pumpkin pie with fresh whipped cream. This is your last chance to order (by 2pm Nov. 23), so call 305/644-4680 now and save yourself the trouble.
