Thanksgiving "Side Cars" Kits
"Side Cars" Instructions
On behalf of our entire team at Gladys- thank you for celebrating with us!
We hope that you enjoy this special menu; please consider the following notes for a cook’s service; be well & be merry…
3 hours from service: stretch, meditate, get focused before the storm.
2 hours from service: pre-heat oven to 225f, pull sides kit from fridge & set up on countertop to temper- turn on some tunes & lock in the vibe.
1.5 hours from service: load stuffing, sweet potatoes, mashers, & gravy (lids on all), on a baking tray into the oven.
1 hr from service: with a thermometer, check the temp on how stuff is coming along, load in green beans, & sprouts (lids on), increase the temp slightly if needed.
30 mins out: crunch time- guests are arriving, you’re entertaining, take a minute to take the lids off everything but the mashers, & do a temp check- if things are getting hot (health code recommends internal temp of 165f for 15 seconds, then you can turn oven off & coast) if you’re cold, bump the temp & stay vigilant.
Time. Service. You made it.
Lay the food out, have some wine, & a laugh- food should be fun & you (with a little help from your brigade) cooked a great meal! We hope you enjoy your time with friends & family; every second counts!
Food For Thought...
The Food
gladys is a vegetable-focused small plates concept that celebrates, adores, & elevates all things "plant". The cuisine at gladys shifts with the seasons, supporting nearby farms, local purveyors, & artisans within our community.
The Menu
We structure our food offerings within the framework of six growing seasons. The dishes are meant to reflect what's good, here & now. We take inspiration from our surroundings, our interactions with others, & our own personal experiences to craft food that is meant to feel extraordinary, but at the same time familiar, approachable, & delicious.
The Team
gladys was founded by two long-time friends & career chefs, Rocky Hunter & Dave Grant, with the aim to craft sustainable food of high standard in a service environment that was humble, accessible, & inviting.
