From an upscale hotel getaway to the best grocery store picks for your home-cooked meals to the best spot to hook up your dessert table, we've got five St. Louis suggestions to upgrade your Thanksgiving dinner.
Bolyard's Meat & Provisions
Pasture raised turkeys from Buttonwood Farm are now available for preorder. This year Bolyard's Meat & Provisions is also offering turkey gravy, poultry stock, savory bread pudding, au gratin potatoes, green bean casserole and of course their famous buttermilk biscuits. These items may be reserved when placing your online order for turkey. Add a DIY dry brine kit which includes salt, sugar, black pepper, ginger, lemon zest, and a brining bag along with instructions. Turkey is lean and somewhat unforgiving if overcooked – brining is like insurance your bird stays moist and juicy! Don't forget to think ahead for Christmas – Bolyard's will offer beef standing rib roasts, beef tenderloin roasts, and boneless smoked hams.
