The Bird is the Wird

(Shanghai - November 10, 2006) - The fourth Thursday of November is right around the corner - so all of you Yankees know what that means..... turkey, turkey and more turkey. However, the typical Shanghainese turkey lover faces one of two problems come Thanksgiving. Either:

1. we don't have an oven in our house (no, a combo microwave/convection oven ain't gonna cut it); or
2. the oven we do have is big enough to maybe cook a 3kg whole chicken, but nothing larger.

Cutting up a raw turkey and cooking it in pieces throughout the day is simply not an option.

Come Turkey Day, there's nothing quite like sitting down with family and friends, having a whole bird on the table with all the trimmings and carving it yourself. Then filling up your plate with some of the bird, along with homemade stuffing, steaming mashed potatoes and more veggies that you'd normally eat in one sitting.

San Francisco Steak House (with locations in Pudong & Hongqiao) is going to try and make a difference for those of you who will be in Shanghai this Thanksgiving, but don't want to go out to a restaurant and eat with complete strangers. They are preparing complete sit down dinners with all the trimmings that you can pick up and enjoy in the comforts of home.

For 688RMB, you get:

• Oven-roasted whole turkey with gravy
• Turkey stuffing
• Green peas with carrots
• Steamed cauliflower & broccoli with cheese sauce
• Mashed potatoes
• Steamed sweet yams in brown sugar syrup
• Mixed green salad
• Dinner rolls
• Fresh cut seasonal fruit platter
• Home-made strawberry cheese cake

They are requesting that you place your order at least ONE WEEK prior to Thanksgiving, which means you have until next Thursday (November 16th) to order your bird.
