I guess not even picking up a prepared turkey dinner from a restaurant or store...only restaurant dining although I know that many restaurants will do a turkey dinner for the table and you take home the leftovers.
yes. Up to 2004, I was a guest at extended family thanksgiving so our leftovers were consumed quickly. I probably carpooled with my immediate family.
2005 Paris at Steak Relais (steak frites).
then Chicagoland 2006-2019 and it was buffet at the club except last year the club renovated so we got carryout from the club and I forget what happened for leftovers. I think there was cooking at my inlaws in 2007-2008 but I can’t recall what happened with leftovers etc because I didn’t have responsibilities for reheating them.
so aside from fetching from the club last year, I’ve never had a restaurant thanksgiving.
My reheating memories involved reheating in gravy, and this year’s turkey was so amazing that it didn’t need gravy corruption.
