Come On...Vic's Cafe...

Give us a Break on Thanksgiving !

Have you seen the "special" Thanksgiving dinner menu and price offered at Vic's Cafe?

$24.95 + Tax

Strip Prices.....10 miles away from The Strip !

...from a restaurant...WE, the residents, FINANCE to the tune of $2,000 each and every month...

...from a restaurant...that has been delinquent in their bills....

...from a restaurant... that was granted a below prime interest rate loan for 3 years with interest ONLY payments for that duration....

...from a restaurant...that our Finance Committee is unable to substantiate...or refuses to substantiate....any record of their rent and/or utilities payments !

 And the owner wonders why people don't patronize his place !!

You have to see the ad.....

This "feast" includes a salad bar, a green bean casserole, stuffing,  mashed potatoes, a slice of apple or pumpkin pie, and a non-alcoholic beverage.

And to show his "generosity"....two other pluses included in this "bargain" are GRAVY....and...a dinner roll WITH BUTTER.

So...as you contemplate if you should partake in this....we believe it's PAYBACK TIME to all who have contributed to his business...not only by way of those who patronize it, but  by way of the "freebies" he seems to enjoy at resident expense.

We know Vic's can't pay us cash,  but what he can do at the very least, is give this community A BREAK ON A VERY INEXPENSIVE THANKSGIVING DINNER !

HE OWES US....and that should be HIS THANKS to us !

Now.... let's take a look at what some others are charging in order that you can evaluate this "bargain".

Menu to-go: 

Herb roast turkey, garlic and sage stuffing, sweet potato gratin and Jack Daniels gravy are just some of the menu items available for pick up Thanksgiving Day.

Maybe you don’t want to cook, or you want to celebrate Thanksgiving in the comfort of your home.

Whatever the occasion, Mon Ami Gabi’s turkey to-go is one of my favorite ideas of the holiday.

Not only because it’s a no-clean-up dinner, but because the food is delicious.

If you choose to dine out this holiday, do yourself a favor and make a few calls before you decide how and where you'll be having Thanksgiving dinner this year.

Then again....there's nothing like a good home cooked meal, is there?

Grocery stores literally "give" turkeys away at this time of year....and if can get a total of 800 points at the South Point between now and November 23rd, they'll not only give you the turkey FREE, but they'll even include the platter !

One thing for sure....get with the times, Vic....and start becoming more competitively priced before your ship sails into another Sun City Anthem restaurant ABYSS !

This  Vic "feast" is no way to impress anyone !

How about it, Vic ?

Don't you think it's time for PAYBACK ?

Only this time...include the entire community...not just a select few chosen by a board of directors when you wined and dined us to get the contract !
