T-Day Dinner at Splash Restaurant, Rosarito
OK, so last weekend our daughter came down and we did the home-cooked family Thanksgiving on Saturday - what a feast and lots of leftovers.
So, by Thursday, I thought we would be "turkeyed-out", but, no, the hubby said, "Let's go out for dinner."
We arrived at Splash at 3:00 pm, which was perfect timing for the winter's eve view of the setting sun over the Pacific ocean and the level of
business - they were completely sold out for later.
We were served pumpkin cream soup, turkey and dressing and fresh mashed potatoes, all three covered with gravy, cranberry sauce, sauteed fresh green
beans w/bacon and onions and dinner roll.
Dessert was a choice of pumpkin or pecan pie (both made in-house).
Also, a glass of white or red house wine was included.
All the tables around us were oohing and aahing about how good the food was.
What was the cost? $10.95 U.S. per person.

That's the best price I've seen for a Thankgiving dinner. With the price of Turkey, I don't see how they can do that and make money.

Sounds like a very good meal at a fair price... refreshing actually. It's nice when restaurants don't try to fleece their customers- everyone knows
how much a turkey costs and that price shows they know who their customer is.
Beat me to it Dennis. BTW- I got a #20 Safeway Turkey for $9 and a #15 Butterball Turkey for $13.

Mood: missing Baja...

Day before yesterday I was in Stater Bros, doing some last minute shopping.There were famlies of Mexicanos with shopping baskets piled high, like
maybe 20? of frozen turkeys. I mentiontion this to Mija, she said"pretty smart! Can't find them much SOB!"It must be difficult to raise turkeys in
Baja.Or is it costly? I know nuthing(Klink said) about turkeys.That price for a good turkey dinner is hard to beat anywhere!
Happiness is just a Baja memory away...

WOW...great prices. I was looking at a couple of birds here the other day and the price took my breath away.
I thought there was a large Turkey industry in Mexico. Are they sending everything north....as usual?
Oh well.....it's not supposed to be a big day here anyway.

Jan-- Glad Splash was a hit, it always is. I was in there the other day asking Nick about Thanksgiving dinner and asking if he was really serving
turkey or turkey vulture. Or seagull or pelican!! Then when someone asked him "how do you say 'turkey' in spanish" he said "Bill".
