Thanksgiving Meals To Go Gaining Popularity

To go options for Thanksgiving are popular for many families. In a 2015 SJR article Keith Burton, an associate professor of psychology at the University of Illinois Springfield, was quoted as saying that he thinks people have different priorities now. “I think it’s a reflection of the growing mindfulness of the time-versus-money tradeoff,” Burton said. “We’re seeing more and more folks choosing to place value on time over money.”

"For the average cook, putting together a Thanksgiving meal is tireless work," said PIER 22 Executive Chef Greg Campbell. "Grocery shopping alone can take hours and can cost big bucks to purchase all of the ingredients needed for a single meal out of the year, and since there's really no price tag we can place on time with loved ones, I can understand why more Bradenton families are skipping the cooking and cleaning. Dining at PIER 22 or picking up one of our scratch-cooked turkey meals to go is a great value and a great alternative to going it alone," he said.

For Thanksgiving 2016, PIER 22 will prepare a special feast that will feature a variety of traditional Thanksgiving offerings: fresh roasted turkey, housemade stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potato casserole, broccoli casserole, green beans, cranberry sauce, housemade dinner rolls and housemade pumpkin pie.
