Fall is in the air and we all know what that means. Cable knit sweaters, cute boots, pumpkin spice EVERYTHING, colourful leaves, pumpkins literally everywhere, snotty nosed children with back-to-school colds and Thanksgiving food! Believe us when we say, we’ve waited all year for this - well, not the snotty nosed kid part… but the food! And the maybe the boots too.
Thanksgiving is clearly the superior holiday. It’s all warm kitchens and cooking turkey and watching football and hanging with family. Sure, your family is probably a little crazy (or a lot crazy, we know what that’s about) but Thanksgiving is the time to be thankful for their craziness. Because, you know, you’re probably a little crazy too.
Another thing we can be thankful for is all of our local businesses! And let’s be honest, they’ve had a year. So let’s show them some Thanksgiving love support them for our festive dinner needs! From fresh produce to dessert, fully prepared meals to adult-beverages, the local guys have us covered.
And to our DTO readers, this year we’re thankful for you.
Now let’s eat!
