Aspen: FREE turkey at Hick House
Um, also, it’s opening day. See you on the slopes.
But after that, everyone (poor locals who can’t afford $90 prix fixe dinners) heads to the Hickory House for a free turkey dinner. Doors open at 11:30am and stay open ’til the food runs out, usually around 6pm. Main Street Bakery, Paradise Bakery, US Food Service and Aspen Party Rentals help out, and the Hick House landlord donates all the turkeys. I haven’t yet visited the Hick House, known for ribs and cheap wings during football, and I probably won’t eat much of their food (here’s doubting it’s happy), but a community dinner is just too cool to pass up.
