So my mom usually does Thanksgiving, but this year she has to work on Thanksgiving so we'll be doing the traditional spread on Saturday following Thanksgiving. I am going to do the main day Thanksgiving and decided to have a go at Beef Wellington. Anyone have any tips?

Gordon Ramsey. His signature dish is beef Wellington and I think there is a ton of videos out there on how he does it.

We're going to some restaurant in Akumal that supposedly will be serving a traditional American Thanksgiving dinner. Hopefully it isn't as bad as the place we went to last year. No stuffing and no green bean casserole was a real bummer.

I've never had it. It's steak/roast covered with puff pastry? It -sounds- a little weird.

Unless it's deep-fried or thin-sliced on a sammich though, I don't even like turkey much anymore. My wife's family makes it 3 times a year very traditionally and it's fine but it's just not my deal. Even sides are meh but I do like stuffing.

I'm jealous of families that have evolved to fish frys and whatnot and change it up.

My family has changed things up this year, they are going to my sister's in salt lakes. Last year there was a bar here in Cheyenne I was drinking at and all the regulars started bringing in tons of Thanksgiving food, everybody brought something. I might do that again, watch football and bring some dish.

I thought it looked weird when I had it, but it was seriously unbelievable.

It wasn't too shabby, it started out as kind of depressing holiday, work got in the way of going home, so I stayed up here. The whole bar was filled with good people, cheap drinks, and free food.

When my boss had his 2 bars, we usually did a big thing the day before or the day after with everyone who wanted to come and then one the day of if we had any staff that wanted to. I didn't expect many to show up to the day of, but surprisingly it was a full house. A lot of people just didn't have a family home to go to for the holiday. The bar we had in south Denver, everyone there was family in our eyes. Usually turned out to be a really nice day and much like a family get together, one guy gets too drunk and has to be put down, one gets sloshed and gets uber sentimental and so on and so on. I miss that bar, a lot.

I think turkey is pretty boring so i'm all about substituting it for a steak dinner. New York Strip makes for a good thanksgiving.

It's hard to go wrong with New York strip. My wife's family will roast prime rib from time to time. I can't recall ever asking where the turkey was

I wonder if uber runs in Cheyenne tomorrow. That would make things so much simpler

Not directly related, but in Manila, Philippines you can get an Uber helicopter for about $87.

We decided against traditional Thanksgiving fare this year. We lost our big dog Cassie on Thanksgiving last year just as I started the bird, so we decided to do something she would like more, steak.
