A taste of home during Thanksgiving 2019

Thanksgiving in America is in exactly 2 weeks, and it’s an important holiday to spend with family. If you and yours are in Florence during this year’s holiday and need a taste of home, then head to the Hard Rock Cafe where a special Thanksgiving menu will be on offer all day. If you’re an expat like me, you can also take a break and let someone else handle all the holiday cooking! 😉


All joking aside, if you want to enjoy a delicious Thanksgiving meal this November 28th – with a concert by Gospel Choir One Voice at 8pm – then you really need to head to the classic rock restaurant just off Piazza della Repubblica. As far as the menu goes, it will be served all day long so you can head there for a Thanksgiving lunch or dinner for a taste of all of the classics: slow-roasted turkey breast (a vegetarian option is also available), roasted fresh vegetables, classic home-style stuffing, creamy sweet potato mash with cranberry sauce and gravy. Pumpkin pie is absolutely part of the special menu!

There are 3 menu options: either a 2 course meal with either soda or beer, or a 3 course meal with an Espresso Martini made with Grey Goose Vodka, Kahlúa, fresh brewed espresso and shaken until frothy and chilled.

Did you know that the first Hard Rock Cafe opened in London in 1971? Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton were two Americans who wanted to find a good American burger and other tastes of home while living abroad: their solution was to open up their own American-style diner, they found an old Rolls Royce dealership as their location for that cafe. It was the basic need to get a taste of home and connect with their roots that drove the creation of the diner, and I always consider it our destination when those needs and cravings hit me. Since I won’t be making it back home this year for Thanksgiving, who will join me for the holiday meal at the Hard Rock Cafe?
