Cru Catering is offering a “Thanksgiving Dinner Pick Up option.” All you have to do is call them, place an order, pick it up the day before Thanksgiving and then eat up the dishes when you are ready to eat. Their dinner will include “roasted turkey, traditional Southern-style stuffing, housemade giblet gravy, port wine cranberry sauce, a roasted pumpkin and arugula salad, whipped sweet potatoes, caramelized braised Brussels sprouts and a mouth-watering bourbon pecan pie dessert.” It will cost you $35.00 per person (plus tax) and there is a four person minimum.
