LDS Family Turkey Feast

Family Thanksgiving Feast: Where to Find Turkey-Coma-Inducing Feeds!

Back at home, Thanksgiving is generally enjoyed at home amongst close family, but for many of us, Beijing is our home away from home. And with Christmas just around the corner, we often opt to sacrifice one for the other, leaving us stuck in Beijing for Thanksgiving so that we can at least go home for Christmas. Never quite the same as grandma makes it, but on the bright side, at least you’re not short of options in Beijing! If you think about it, Thanksgiving in Beijing has the potential to be so much more fun than it would normally be at home. Leave the long hours slaving away in a kitchen cooking and dirty dishes to the restaurants and rally up all your friends to just enjoy the feast!

With terrific Thanksgiving spreads available around town throughout the week, there’s no reason why you have to pressure yourself into picking just one Thanksgiving meal.  We’ve waited all year long for this incredible turkey feast to come around again so make the most of it this year and sign yourself up for as many as you can stuff yourself with.

Whether you’re American is irrelevant because no matter where you’re from, everyone can appreciate a holiday focused on phenomenal food and good company, and celebrate Thanksgiving with a home-style meal even if they are so far away from home.

The NEW! Taco Bar in South Sanlitun: Opening Week Specials

Starting Thursday, September 18th, The Taco Bar Commences Lunch Service

Since Team Rocky re-opened The Legendary Taco Bar in South Sanlitun mid-June this year, they have gradually started expanding their opening hours to not only include boozy late-nights of six-too-many-tequila shots and those dangerous cocktails they keep letting people purchase. After launching their weekend brunch in mid-July, I’m happy to share that they’re now offering a lunch set that’s basically too temptingly good to deny.

The NEW! Taco Bar in South Sanlitun (by the one and only ROCKY)

It’s been a long and tough year since The Taco Bar officially closed on May 1, 2013. After so many restless nights of happy taco dreams only to wake up to the harsh reality that there was no Taco Bar no more, ALAS! there is a light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Once hidden inside a teeny tiny hutong courtyard off of Fangjia Hutong (a few steps away from Hot Cat Club), The NEW! Taco Bar has moved into the space just hugging the Home Plate BBQ spot in South Sanlitun. Since this past weekend’s first round of Soft-Opening dinner tastings, I am delighted to announce that Team Rocky and his legendary Taco Bar are BAAAAAACCCCKKKKK!!!!!

Stepping into the new Taco Bar was like coming back home. You’d never guess the awesomeness that awaits you as you step over a big pile of crumbling sand, walking over unstable wood beams and a bunch of unfinished construction at the entrance. But knowing Team Rocky, this was all an intentional strategy to ward off nosy strangers.

Beijing Craft Beer Festival at Galaxy SOHO

June 6-7: Beijing Craft Beer Festival at Galaxy SOHO

(Photo from theBeijinger’s Photo Gallery from last year’s beer fest)

Great Leap Brewing gears up for their third annual Beijing Craft Beer Festival this weekend – Friday, June 6 from 5pm-11pm – Saturday, June 7 from 12pm-11pm at Galaxy SOHO.  Though many of us dream of their return to their first festival’s location in the Dashilar Factory Space, we will settle for Galaxy SOHO as they almost moved the festival to the far, far away Wangjing SOHO this year (thank goodness they didn’t!).

“After consultation with SOHO, we decided to hold the event at Galaxy SOHO for a second consecutive year. We hope beer fans in Wangjing will still make the trip. We loved Galaxy SOHO in 2013 and we’re very happy the Festival is returning to this central and convenient location,” Carl Setzer, co-founder and brewmaster of Great Leap Brewing and organizer of the event.

Pop-Up Taco Bar in Dashilar's Upcoming Boutique Hotel by The Orchid

The Coolest Event of BJ Design Week Thus Far:

The Taco Bar Pops-Up in The Orchid’s Upcoming Space in Dashilar

A pop-up that spread through Beijing’s foodie community like wildfire, news of The Taco Bar making a brief return was reason enough for me to cancel all prior engagements and head straight over knowing that they would most definitely run out of seats and, more importantly, tacos.

Located in what looks like an abandoned warehouse just off of Meishijie in Dashilar, this is what you step into:
