On Thanksgiving Day, I found myself with 2 friends at the restaurant Longman & Eagle in Chicago. It was a great time, the food was fantastic and I\u2019d like to share some of the libations we had as well. Cost was $65 a person and you can eat as much as you wanted. We got seconds but not thirds.<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

I started with the Willet 21 year barrel selections picked by L&E a few years ago. They were both delicious but the Longman was much better almost twice as good. Would certainly have again.<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Next up, white and dark meat Turkey with Stuffing cubes (cranberry, and Foie Gras) with a heavy creamy gravy<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Sides were pretty simple and the weaker part of the meal: Green bean casserole, grilled brussel sprouts with ham and squash. The Cranberry sauce puree however was amazing<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the sides, the ultra creamy and decadent buttery mashed potatoes were incredible. There were small flakes of cheese in there<\/p>\n

Then, we had a few bourbons to finish out the meal.<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Of the Bourbon, the 23 year Willet Family Estate was the weakest of the bunch.<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Overview of the menu:<\/p>\n

\"Thanksgiving<\/a><\/p>\n

Dessert with this vanilla light ice cream \/ whipped topping. The garnish detracted from the dish but it was still a delicious finish.<\/p>\n

We all left completely full but I could basically have eaten a whole plate of the dark meat turkey with a ton of Bourbon. So good.<\/p>\n
