Most restaurants post their Thanksgiving menus in early November. Chef keeps reading your city and emails you when new ones are out, with the order-by dates. At most one email every few days, and nothing after Thanksgiving.
This also opens a free Chef Amazing account: keep the places you love, the lists friends send you and your next trip. Your address is never shared or sold.Cooking it yourself?

Chef Amazing reads restaurants' own pages and local press and only links what that search returned. Last year's menus are labelled as such until the 2026 one is out. Photo: Wikimedia Commons.
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
