Your friends at Bellflower would love to prepare your Thanksgiving dinner this year.
Many of us haven’t seen our loved ones for the better part of a year now. And, given the current circumstances, a lot of us won’t be enjoying Thanksgiving with our extended families this holiday season. Though we know it’s no substitute for tradition, or your time-honored family favorites, the Bellflower team would love to prepare your holiday meal for you, and maybe even help you establish a new tradition or two.
If you’re familiar with what we’ve been doing here at Bellflower, you know that our staff is up to the task. And, if you haven’t been able to join us in person at the restaurant, you’ve likely read the reviews and heard from your friends and neighbors. We care deeply about food and hospitality, and it shows in everything we do. And we’d love to help you make a truly memorable holiday feast with your closest friends and family.
If you’ve eaten at Bellflower, you likely already know how good our milk bread stuffing and mashed potatoes are. And you know that, when it comes to cooking meat, no one does it better. Well, we’ve been cooking turkeys in our new smoker, and we’re happy to report that they’re absolutely delicious, especially accompanied by the special sides that Chef Dan has come up with. And we can’t wait for you to taste what we’ve come up with.
Following are our three options. If one of them sounds good to you, just follow this link, let us know, and set a time to pick-up your package on either Tuesday, November 24, or Wednesday, November 25. [All packages will include reheating instructions, and details about the ingredients and preparation of each dish.]
As for the turkeys, they’re free-range, and all-natural. And they will be coming to us fresh just before the holiday, which is why, if you’re interested in placing an order, we need to know by November 11, as that’s when we’ll be finalizing things with the farm where the turkeys are being raised.

And we have three wine packages as well, if you’d like try the selections that our sommelier Jenn Lucier has put together for us. [Details on each of these individual wines can be found in our online wine shop.] Here’s what Lucier has to say about each of the three bundles she’s assembled.
Three Bottle Wine Bundle: Our 3 bottle bundle gives you the perfect curated package to accompany your Thanksgiving feast. The Krone Brut Sparkling Rosé calls for a celebration with its festive bottle and a bright nose bursting with notes of red berries and buttery biscuits. Let it stand on its own or drink throughout the meal, it will compliment everything from the turkey and stuffing to baked fruit and pastry with dessert. Vegetable side dishes (or main courses!) will be highlighted by the flavors of stone fruits, minerality, and hint of spice found in the Château Les Miaudoux Bergerac Blanc and nothing pairs better with turkey and gravy than a Blaufränkisch. This vibrant, fruit-forward red wine with flavors of cranberries, black currants, baking spices and subtle smokiness will accentuate your holiday bird no matter the preparation! …$60
