Starbucks 'Trenta': How The New Size Compares To Your Stomach
Famous Death Row Last Meals
For some reason, my extended family likes to get together on Friday for the big Thanksgiving dinner. I think this practice dates back to when there were a lot of doctors in the family who always had to work the holiday but could more easily get the Friday after off. However, for several years, a smaller group of us would also gather on Thanksgiving day to gorge ourselves on smoked turkey.
This wasn't just any smoked turkey either. It was the Willie Bird from Williams-Sonoma. I tend to be skeptical of gourmet foods purchased from spendy, trendy stores, but let me tell you, this particular turkey is worth the price. We would stand around as my cousin Melissa carved up that bird, all hungrily waiting for our first taste. If I was lucky, after we had eaten more than our fill, there would be a few scraps leftover for sandwiches (this turkey is a revelation when paired with brie).
If you are still looking for a Thanksgiving turkey and considering buying a pre-cooked one instead of roasting your own, the Willie Bird is an excellent way to go. Just make up your mind soon, as this turkey needs to be ordered by noon on Sunday to arrive in time for the big day.

(Blue Ridge Pig is near Wintergreen resort. I can't remember the name of the road that it's on...they also have great barbecue. Mmmmm, barbecue. Now I'm hungry...)
