11/17/13 – UPDATED POST: Fern has provided me with pictures of this year’s Thanksgiving offerings! They have also extended their pre-oder date to Saturday, November 23!
For several years now Charlotteans have also been thankful for Fern, Flavors from the Garden … without a doubt Charlotte’s most elegant vegetarian/vegan restaurant. It is truly a foodie destination.
For this year’s Thanksgiving preorder menu, the talented Chef Drew has come up with a butternut squash gratin with parsnip and celery root in a caramelized onion bechamel, topped with an oatmeal crust. The gratin comes with sides of braised greens risotto and roasted brussel sprouts with shiitake mushrooms. Is your mouth watering yet? The whole meal is vegan and priced at $16.95 per person.
Fern will also be offering their famous carrot cake with coriander cream cheese frosting (all vegan as well), as a 2 layer 9 inch round for $24.00. It serves approximately 8.

Fern’s Carrot Cake. This is just a slice. If you purchase, you will receive a whole, frosted round that will feed 8 people.
Orders are due by Wednesday the 20th, Saturday, November 23, and pickup will be available Tuesday the 26th and Wednesday the 27th.
In case you’re not familiar with Fern, here’s a couple of pictures of items from Fern’s Spring menu. (Sorry, I have not tried out their new Fall menu yet – but I will!). For more information, check out this review of Fern.
I might be headed to Charlotte for Thanksgiving so this is great! I’ve heard of Fern but have never seen the food. It looks amazing!
Fern’s food is amazing. Some of it is vegetarian, not vegan, though, so always read the menu carefully when you order.
Fern sounds like a wonderful place! Great Thanksgiving fixins’ for sure!
I am intrigued by the coriander cream cheese frosting.
Those meals look delicious!
