As we discussed yesterday, it’s important to train for that holiest of holidays coming up, Thanksgiving. If free pulled turkey from Rocklands isn’t your bag, head over to Johnny’s Half Shell tonight for a dry run of Thanksgiving dinner. Chef Ann Cashion will be whipping up a turkey and all the fixings, and it can all be yours (plus champagne and dessert) for just $45 a person.

And what Thanksgiving would be complete without a little veg time in front of the tube? Instead of the Lions game, Johnny’s will be screening the movie The Last Waltz, the 1978, Scorsese-directed documentary about the Thanksgiving Day concert put on by The Band in San Fransisco towards the end of their career.

Seating starts at 7pm, and the show starts at 7:30pm. Reservations are suggested and to get yours, call 202-737-0400.
