Thanksgiving At Bond 45

Slow Braised Lamb Shank Ossobuco @ Bond 45

The last time I visited Bond 45 on the National Harbor, it felt like Thanksgiving. There were mounds of hearty side dishes, salads, appetizers and chocolate mousse served in metal tubs…it was bliss. For a foodie, leaving a restaurant not only full but overly satisfied is the start/end of a goodnight. These were my exact sentiments when the crisp night air hit my face after leaving the revolving doors of Bond 45 this past weekend. After receiving word about a new Thanksgiving menu and being invited in to nibble on a few of the creations, I loaded up my Batmobile and headed down I-295. Every time I approach the National Harbor, I am mesmerized by the newness and possibilities…specifically the possibilities in food.

Now I stint to say when I will make my own full course Thanksgiving meal, so finding someone to do all the dirty work is right up my alley. Finding a spot to make you not miss home is the problem, so that’s where the checklist comes in. Bond has a comprehensive menu of all the classic Thanksgiving flavors: Roasted Butternut Squash Soup, Herb Roasted Heritage Organic Turkey, Roast Baby Pig, Pumpkin Pie and Pecan Pie, just to name a few. The 6-course Italian-American meal will certainly leave you feeling the way you feel after every Thanksgiving: like you either need to change into your favorite sweatpants or unbutton your pants. Satisfaction seems to be a guarantee. Also, the good thing about leaving your house with the family to celebrate the day of thanks?? No one has to do the dishes.
