In a perfect Thanksgiving world, we would be able to have our cake and eat it, too – a.k.a. sit at a single table with all of our favorite Lakeland restaurant menu items in one place.
Because while we love Uncle Jimmy’s fried turkey, Aunt Betty’s 3-sticks-of-butter mashed potatoes + the extended cousin’s questionable green bean casserole, it would be pretty cool to have a Thanksgiving feast of all the Swan City staples we’re thankful for every other day of the year.
We asked you on Facebook + Instagram what dishes you’d put on the menu from all your favorite Lakeland restaurants. Here’s what you said:
