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.Chef Amazing picked these and read each one's own page or local press. "2026 menu" means the page is about this year; anything else is last year's, shown as a guide, and Chef keeps checking for the new one. Prices, dishes and dates are the restaurant's to change, so check when you order. Know a place we missed? Write to hello@chefamazing.com. Photos marked "a photo like it" are not of that place (Wikimedia Commons).
Chef Amazing remembers every place you ate, keeps the lists friends send you, and helps you cook it at home.
