Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. What other day has the ethos of gratitude, togetherness, and of course, delicious food and drinks?

Our restaurants have been producing sides and pies for Alexandria’s dinner tables for the last nine years so why would 2023 be any different? Oh yeah, because I closed Stomping Ground?! It felt strange this year to not offer our Stomping Ground favorites, even though we shuttered the location earlier this year. We have all the same cooks and recipes so at Mae’s Market and Cafe we will be offering Stomping Ground Biscuits, Scones, Hashbrown Casserole (we made it fancy and called it Potatoes Gratin), homemade pies and more! 

Virginia's Darling, the wine bar inside of Mae’s with a knack for creating memorable experiences, is elevating the rest of your Thanksgiving week with a unique popup event.  We are ditching our regular menu for a week of martinis, champagne flights, oysters, caviar and a few more fun surprises. This popup promises a luxurious and indulgent experience and provides the perfect setting for pre or post-Thanksgiving gatherings, festive date nights, or simply unwinding after a week rife with preparations.

We are truly excited to do everything we can to ensure your celebrations are special. Mae's Market and Cafe's sides and pies will simplify your Thanksgiving feast preparations and Virginia's Darling's martini, champagne, and oyster pop-up promises an indulgent experience that adds a touch of fun to your holiday celebrations. Don't miss out on these delightful offerings – place your orders for Mae’s here and make reservations here to ensure a memorable Thanksgiving week full of culinary delights and wonderful memories.
