For all of you who are celebrating today, feel free to post what you're doing today! I'm eating dinner with all my family in the area. :)

I ate so much, I feel like someone has poured cement into my stomach.

Its worth it though, we finally fried a turkey this year instead of grilling it.

Nice.

We had our dinner, nice. Small bird this year, small gathering. I've already put the leftovers in the fridge to cool... I plan on having a cold turkey sandwich before the day is done. YUM! :)

Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I had a very good dinner. I had mostly stuffing, and a little turkey. I drowned the stuffing with gravy and ate a plateful of stuffing with it.

My dinner was crap. I got to see my grandparents, which was nice, but the food was awful.

They just moved into an apartment, so we went out to eat. The "restaurant" ran out of dark meat, broke a glass in the first 5 minutes, was understaffed, the food was lukewarm, the gravy was like eating warm pudding (which is fine, if it were pudding, but it was gravy- it didn't even look like gravy), the turkey was dry, the waiter spilled salad dressing on the floor, the cranberry sauce obviously came from a can (and was served in little plastic containers), the deserts were too sweet, the coffee was like making love in a canoe, and the general thing was bad.

It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience: NEVER AGAIN!

But I did get to go the the NYC parade and watch it from a 6-foot ladder. Great views- I was at 45th and 6th Ave.

We here in Minnesota use the power of SNOW to cool our food.

I was visiting friends out of town. Ate good stuff, played dominoes, and threw sticks for their new little dog to chase. It was a great time.

It was very nice!

Had some medical issues. Not serious, but I still ate food with family.

You should see a place around my area. the bathroom sinks are all cracked, the toilet tanks and bowls have a few 1/4" wide cracks in them, the bathroom doors don't close all the way and have sharpie graffiti all over the walls, ceiling and floor, the food sucks, all the tables and chairs will be stacked up even if they're open, the arcade machines and the jukebox don't work but are plugged in, the place smells like mold and cigarettes, and the beers are crazy expensive. The place still manages to stay open though. And I won't ever report it because it's a treasure, a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you'd ever be foolish enough to report it you'd be a public enemy for years and years to come.

Good gads!... this wouldn't be Rutt's Hut would it? LOLZ! NJ's got quite a few such "gems", like the Getty Grill in Paterson for 'death dogs' (which I understand is now closed), or the Tick-Tock in Clifton. The true definition of "junk food".

Nope, it's someplace that's called the [town name] Hilton (town name omitted for privacy). The place used to be a farmer's club back in the 1920's, then it was a general store, then a boarding house, then a sportsman club, and then the bar it is today. One story I heard from the Hilton was that a guy sat down in a chair and all 4 legs busted through the floor. Another one I heard was that the men's toilet broke off at the base and tipped over on it's side when somebody was sitting on it. Another story was that some guy got ahold of a kangaroo somehow, skinned it, and left the skin out to dry on the top of the flagpole. It's been a LONG time since I went in, maybe 10 years, but when I went in there the bathroom lights didn't work and there was a work light in there as a replacement. The guy that owned it was still using the mechanical register from the 20's. And if you ever go there, you can say that you survived the place and you have bragging rights that you went in there. It's pretty much my region in a building. And the only way you can get to it is by a dirt road on the bank of a river and a wooden bridge you have to cross, and not a new wood bridge either. And did I mention the fact that the food menu only consists of a 1/2 pound burger (that's probably all deer meat), a ham and cheese sandwich, and fries?

I haven't gone to a restaurant quite that bad yet, but there was a Burger King in Idaho that was simply horrible. The hamburger buns felt like Styrofoam, the meat tasted like burnt plastic, and the milkshakes tasted like extremely dilute cornstarch with a little bit of corn syrup. You couldn't see the round hockey puck-like things in the urinals because there was so much algae growing in them. Yet there were still several families eating there for some odd reason.
