Chef Annabelle Choi Readying Secret Orphan Thanksgiving Pop-Up Dinner

unnamed-(15)

On Saturday, October 11th, our good friends at Here There are hosting Orphan Thanksgiving, a secret dinner party dedicated to celebrating the ones left behind.

Whether your family is out of town or just not that into celebrating the holidays, Here There recognizes that the temporarily orphaned need to eat on Thanksgiving. So join them Saturday, October 11th for a fun-filled night of good food, music and plenty of drunk uncle speeches.

Dinner will be a big, help yourself-style spread of the Thanksgiving classics. Think roasted turkey, porchetta, autumnal roasted vegetables, sweet potato mash with candied nuts, gratin of blue russian potato and cauliflower, shaved apple and fennel salad, brioche stuffing, and two types of pie. The cooking is being done by chef Annabelle Choi, formerly the head baker at Matchstick Coffee (also toiled at famed San Francisco bakeries Craftsman & Wolves and Tartine).

While Choi is dishing out the Thanksgiving classics, there will be a cash bar pouring holiday cocktails and a stereo playing solid gold jams. It’s all going down in a fun, cozy, dinner party environment where all you’ll need to worry about is what you’re thankful for…
