Hotel Deal in Bethesda Offers Special Menu for Thanksgiving Day Meal

BETHESDA, MD--(Marketwired - Nov 21, 2013) - Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends and, of course, food. If spending hours in the kitchen doesn't sound like the best way to enjoy the day, the Bethesda North Marriott Hotel & Conference Center is offering a delicious alternative at its North Bethesda, MD restaurant.

Gather friends and family for a delicious Thanksgiving Day buffet at Meritage, a casual yet upscale restaurant within this Chevy Chase, MD hotel. The buffet features several areas including hot and cold items, carving stations and a decadent dessert bar. Fill a first plate with light items including roasted beet salad with chive and sour cream dressing; heirloom potato salad with roasted corn, caramelized onions and Dijon vinaigrette; fresh-baked breads and rolls; and a selection of artisanal cheeses, meats, jams, spreads and flat breads.

Diners will also find their Thanksgiving favorites on the menu. Carving stations include whole roasted turkey with giblet gravy, cranberry sauce and croissants, and spiral cut ham with rum pineapple glaze and mustards. No holiday meal is complete without side dishes; the buffet will feature Brussels sprouts and pearl onions, corn bread stuffing with cranberries and walnuts, butternut squash bisque and baked sweet potatoes with maple brown sugar glaze. While there are plenty of tempting dishes, be sure to save room for dessert including pumpkin pie, tiramisu, cranberry pecan cheesecake, apple pie and much more.

At only $39.95 for diners ages 12 and older ($19.95 ages 6 to 11; free for 5 and under), the Thanksgiving Day meal at this Bethesda hotel is a great deal. Reservations are available for 11am, 1pm and 3pm seatings, and the buffet includes complimentary juice, coffee, hot tea, iced tea and soda.
