"Owners at the upscale Buttercup Diner in the city's Jack London Square for Thanksgiving week expect to sell at least 200 preordered, take-home-and-heat dinners, each with 2 pounds of slow-roasted turkey breast, cornbread sage stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, Caesar salad and pumpkin or pecan pie. "We looked around to see what everybody was charging, what you get ...""
"and we were trying to position ourselves," says Ben Shahvar, one of five family members who own and operate one of Oakland's last family-style diners. Started in 1988 by his parents, David and Debbie Shahvar, Buttercup Diners are in Oakland, Vallejo, Concord and their newly-remodeled Walnut Creek location."
Americans expect to spend an average of $175 on Thanksgiving dinner this year, according to a Nielsen survey. Oakland's Buttercup Diner is offering a Thanksgiving Family Feast serving four to six people for $110, available as a preordered take-home, heat-and-serve meal. The package includes 2 pounds of slow-roasted turkey breast, cornbread sage stuffing, garlic mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, turkey gravy, cranberry sauce, Caesar salad and a choice of pumpkin or pecan pie. The Jack London Square location expects to sell at least 200 preordered dinners during Thanksgiving week. Buttercup is family-owned since 1988 with locations in Oakland, Vallejo, Concord and Walnut Creek; preorders run Monday through Wednesday while supplies last and locations are closed on Thanksgiving Day.
