Woodlands restaurant in the Doubletree by Hilton is offering a Champagne Dinner from 2-8 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day.
With more than 200 restaurants, bakeries, breweries and other culinary venues, there’s an option to support local businesses for every type of Thanksgiving participant. Hosts who want to go the extra mile for their guests can find locally raised turkeys. Guests wanting to pick up a special dessert have a variety of options from local bakeries, and anyone looking to outsource the entire experience has at least three Flagstaff favorites now taking Thanksgiving Day reservations.
For those looking for an extra special main dish, Proper Meats + Provisions will offer whole turkeys for the holiday. The butcher and sandwich shop prides itself on offering locally sourced, sustainably raised meats. Its fresh, never-frozen turkeys are free range, raised in Paulden, Arizona, on organic feed with no antibiotics. (And mark your calendars, because in December, Proper Meats will offer prime rib for holiday gatherings.)
Another popular Thanksgiving side dish available for pick up is tamales. Proper Meats + Provisions also carries tamales for takeout, as well as pies from Brandy’s Restaurant and Bakery.
Another favorite Flagstaff business for holiday preorders is Tamales USA, known for its red and green chili offerings with beef, pork, chicken and veggie varieties. Find them at the Flagstaff Mountain Town Market each Sunday in November at Flagstaff City Hall from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., giving customers the chance to stock up before the holiday.
The Flagstaff Mountain Town Markets in November also will have pies on hand from made-to-order bakery Pie Guy. Charles Lewis, the baker behind the popular Flagstaff dessert brand, also will have pies available at retail shops around the city ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday, and will be taking orders as usual during this busy time of the year.
Cedar House Coffee on Flagstaff’s east side recently began offering pre-ordered boxes of 30 mini pastries perfect for holiday gatherings. Customers can choose one or two varieties of apple turnovers and cherry, blueberry and peach pastries. And special for the holidays, Cedar House will offer preorder trays of pumpkin scones with house-made candied pumpkin, pumpkin loaf cake with cream cheese frosting (gluten-free available), turkey cranberry croissants and pumpkin tiramisu. The holiday pastries also are available as single purchases for walk-in customers.
Shift Kitchen will offer pies for order this Thanksgiving. Another way to add a sweet treat to your holiday season is to choose from a variety of decadent candy and caramel apples at the Sweet Shoppe.
Atria will offer “Everything but the Turkey” packages with seven sides that include smoked ham hock mac n’ cheese and roasted brussels sprouts, plus a choice of pumpkin meringue or pomegranate buttermilk pie.
Diners who find themselves in a last-minute pinch who didn’t place an order with their favorite vendor can always stop in Petite Marché downtown and find a variety of items to make a charcuterie board. Or they might stop at one of the city’s eight award-winning breweries for cans or growler fills of special holiday beers. And don’t forget Flagstaff’s own Drinking Horn Meadery, which always has a variety of flavors on hand, and recently introduced “Punkin Spice” mead to their lineup. Online ordering available.
For those who prefer to forego the cooking entirely and enjoy an evening out on Thanksgiving, Flagstaff has plenty of options as well.
Josephine’s Modern American Bistro is offering a Thanksgiving Banquet from noon to 7 p.m. on the holiday this year, with dishes that include roasted, cider-brined, “Mary’s” free-range turkey with mushroom-sage stuffing, and slow-braised short ribs with bordelaise sauce and smoked gouda mashed potatoes. Desserts include a chocolate bourbon pecan pie. The cost is $64.50 per person, $19.50 for children under 10, and those younger than 5 are free. Details: www.josephinesrestaurant.com
