    Incredible Thanksgiving day meal at founding farmers. I just returned to the states after 3 months in Europe and find the prices here a little higher than I was expecting. But I haven’t had food this good in a very long time. I made a reservation and was able to be seated 10 minutes early. As busy as the restaurant got, the service was prompt and friendly, the noise level was low, particularly surprising considering the number of people in the large dining space. My friend and I had mimosas along with the meal, and they were excellent as well. Plan to go back tomorrow and order something from the bar.
