"Big Jones is dedicated to what it calls “heritage cooking,” so a lot of their food is made with old-timey recipes that have ingredients like sorghum molasses and house-ground sassafras. The best part about their Southern Thanksgiving spread is that you can eat a deep-fried turkey without worrying Uncle Bob will burn the house down. It’s a versatile spot that can accommodate groups of all sizes, and you can either dress up or be more casual. Most importantly, you can ask for seconds. The meal: Five-course prix fixe, $75 a person" - adrian kane, veda kilaru
