Thanksgiving this year was a subdued affair for me. I started a new job this week in Chiswick, and I have been quite busy and have had a pretty nasty commute every day except for today and very early mornings every day except for Monday. To say the least, I am exhausted. I did want to do a little something to make it a little special, and I saw that retaurant Jackson + Rye had a special Thanksgiving Day menu for today. Jackson & Rye have other branches across London, and I visited their Chiswick branch.
Jackson + Rye are described as a New York-style grill and restaurant serving American food with a French fusion.
The Thanksgiving Day menu is 29.95 for three courses, including a glass of Prosecco. Unfortunately, this tasted a bit flat and like wine.
The starter options were chicken wings with peri peri sauce and blue cheese, shrimp and bacon chowder, pork and apple terrine, or roasted beetroot, curd and candied pecans. I had the chicken wings, which were delicious.
The mains were turkey, roasted squash risotto, cod, or some type of beef. The turkey came with a sweet potato slice. Unfortunately, there really wasn't enough vegetables or a selection of them as is standard for a roast or Thanksgiving meal, so I ordered a side of broccoli.
To finish, I had the pumpkin pie. Lemon tart, chocolate fondant, and salted caramel and fudge pie were also on offer.
So, overall, this was a very quiet Thanksgiving lunch that I took, so I had to be quick. I am hoping to make up for it next year for sure.
