I was just thinking there are too many vegetables on that plate

Having never heard of it, I had to google it. Am I missing out on something good?
Swiss Chalet is a popular chain restaurant in Canada. I havenât been in awhile but their meals are all about the carbs IIRC. The chicken comes with fries and a roll and it looks like @rstuart got mashed potatoes with her meal too. I donât remember the meals coming with that many veggies.
I care less about your menu. What is your address and what time will it be served?
St Hubert and Swiss Chalet are now owned by the same company. Thereâs a dehydrated sauce powder sold with both brand names at our national grocery stores.
Itâs pretty salty sauce.
@ottawaoperadiva , I donât associate Swiss Chalet with carbs.
Itâs mostly about the chicken and ribs, and the chalet sauce. The carbs are a vehicle to get the sauce.
We usually get the baked potato with our takeout ribs and chicken, because the fries go limp quickly, and we arenât a big mashed potato household.
I do associate mashed potatoes and gravy with Thanksgiving, and think mashed go better with stuffing and cranberry sauce, so I would have ordered mashed at Swiss Chalet or St Hubert today.
If I remember right , Swiss Chalet was modeled after Chalet BBQ in Montreal. I have never been. I might have to visit next time Iâm in MTL.

Swiss Chalet has had a Chicken Caesar and other salads on the menu for decades!

The Thanksgiving feast came with stuffing, cranberry sauce and a roll: my friend got fries but apparently I couldnât get past the need for some veggies with dinner so didnât choose it as my side. It also came with a slice of pie: we both got pumpkin in honour of the occasion!

Looks terrific ⌠bonus points for not overcooking the veggies!

What I meant to say is the sides are heavy on the carbs - rolls, fries, potatoes, etc. But you are right the chicken and ribs are the main focus.

Thanksgiving dinner from the pricey butcher was a success! It included turkey (white and dark meat), mashed potatoes, roasted carrots, stuffing and gravy. I had a sparkling apple cider with dinner. I had a cheesecake for dessert.

Unconventional weather for an untraditional thanksgiving dinner from the grill: chicken and veg kebabs, steaks, rice and a salad. Dessert was a twist on tradition: pumpkin spice ice cream on ginger molasses cones. Both homemade. Happy tummies.

We solved this problem a few years ago: all the appetizer foods become LUNCH so we are hungry again by dinnertime! Cheese spread, pigs with or without blankets, Chex mix, and maybe some crudite for balance⌠

Theyâre easy to make with the right equipment. I use David Lebovitzâs basic waffle cone recipe with less sugar and more ginger and am lucky enough to have a Chefâs Choice waffle cone maker. If you donât mind hot fingers, rolling them into shape isnât difficult. Câmon, ginger cones were made for pumpkin ice cream.

Green bean casserole with beans from the garden
My neighbour surprised me with a pumpkin loaf and a friend surprised me with a lemon meringue pie, so we will make pumpkin pie another day.

Apps are a big part of the day for us too â theyâre brunch & lunch as people roll in and the main meal gets prepped, goes into the oven, and so on.
Bird & sides are early dinner, with leftovers being a late snack to round out the day 
There would be a revolt if the only food for the day was the main meal

I bought a massive McCormickâs gift basket at a charityâs silent auction in May, and it came with a big container of fried onions! I cracked it open for this casserole. LOL
