Thanksgiving 2009 (meal #3, post #2)

So how do you cook Thanksgiving for a crowd of 100+ people? With a massive grill of course. And a large cast iron pot over hot coals. And about 70 feet of tables for potluck dishes.

This is Michael - a restaurant chef by trade.

I'm guessing this outbuilding isn't exactly his ideal working conditions, but he looks happy.

Confession time, I'm not that hip on turkey. But if I smear it with enough cranberry sauce, and chase it with mashed potatoes, green beans, deviled eggs or sweet potato casserole, I can manage. I managed 3 different Thanksgiving meals quite happlily this year!
