Thanksgiving Dinner often asks us to dig deep into old family recipes or call upon our (often rusty) kitchen skills. You know you can nail Aunt Bea’s stuffing,
but can’t bake a pie to save your life.
Therein lies the niche of the A La Carte Thanksgiving Catering Menu offered this year at Southport Grocery & Cafe. Do-It-Yourself…as little or as much as you like.
Get a leg up in the kitchen with Urban Accents Gourmet Gobbler Kit ($16.00) or Gravy Goodness Mix ($4.95). Not quite sure what to do with a turkey baster?
We have whole oven-roasted, free-range turkeys, 10lbs. serves 6-8 ($60.00) or 14lbs. serves 8-10 ($75.00).
We all know side dishes are essential to Turkey Day. We offer a host of sides to mix and match with your own from sage-sausage stuffing ($15 small / $30 large) to
honey & herb braised carrots ($12 small / $24 large).
Whether it’s baking mixes from Barefoot Contessa or our own homemade pies, we can help you do-it-yourself. Just don’t ask us to do the dishes… You’re on your own there!

Brining is catching on like crazy recently. It’s an easy and simple way to make a stellar turkey that wow your guests into submission – but what exactly is happening? Well, the salty water moves into the meat and it spreads the muscle proteins making them weak, allowing more brine in and repeats this step over and over. Which is even more reason to have an awesome brine (like ours).
