Want a real old-fashioned Thanksgiving feast, but don't feel like cooking? Stay out of the kitchen this time, and treat yourself to the Claddagh Irish Pub's Traditional Thanksgiving Buffet. There are choices to satisfy the hungriest or most particular appetites, from traditional American fare to authentic Irish-inflected favorites. Of course you're going to have the carved turkey with all the trimmings, right? But even if that's not your thing, you can try the Irish bacon, or the traditional shepherd's pie, along with plenty of sides to choose from. And don't forget the full dessert bar, with an assortment of pie and cake. If you can't eat your fill and have a great family time, you're just not trying. Reservations are encouraged!
Thursday, November 22. $22.95 adults, $9.95 kids. Westfield Franklin Park Mall, 5001 Monroe St. 11am-8pm. 419-472-1414. www.claddaghirishpubs.com. —MD
