BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) — If you have not made your Thanksgiving plans, it’s not too late. There’s going to be a massive banquet in Bend, with some of the best food imaginable.
The Riverhouse Convention Center is holding a Thanksgiving grand buffet from 1-4 p.m. It’s a buffet-style meal with all the Thanksgiving staples, like turkey and stuffing. But it goes beyond that, with whole hams encrusted with brown sugar and maple, smoked prime rib, shrimp, and charcuterie platters.
Executive Chef Frederick Schumann invites everyone to join.
“We want you to come here and have dinner with us, because we just want you to skip the cooking and clean up at your house, right?” Schummann said. “We’re going to prepare amazing food for you – just as good as Grandma, if not better. And we don’t want you to have to go home and worry about the hassle of doing it all. We want to do that for you.”
Schumann showed KTVZ News around the kitchen, proudly displaying the large amount of preparation they aere doing for the event.
. “We cook amazing food here, and we want you to enjoy it and we take great pride in that,” Schumann said.
Alongside all the food, there’s going to be live music and activities for kids. There’s also going to be an art station for them to write letters to Santa. For adults, there’s a bar, and the games will be on.
Now here’s the best part: zero cleanup after Thanksgiving.
Tickets are online or on sale at the door. The cost is about $97 per person, with discounts for seniors, veterans and groups. More information is available on the event website.
