NYC Chef Preparing Enormous Thanksgiving Dinner for Occupy Wall Street Protestors

» 42 comments

As the Occupy Wall Street protests continue, undeterred by their eviction this week from Zuccotti Park, one New York chef is showing his thanks for the protestors by preparing all of them a large Thanksgiving dinner.

Eric Smith told the New York Daily News that this week he has started to prepare the organic meal, including 150 turkeys, 400 pounds of potatoes, and mounds of stuffing and cranberry sauce.

“We have a great Thanksgiving dinner planned for all the occupiers… We hope on Thanksgiving we can bring solace to all these people… Get together. Give everyone an inspirational boost. These people need a chance to rejoice. It’s been a rough two months.”

Smith is going to try and gather the 1000+ crowd of protestors for dinner at Woodstock, because “they need a chance to get away from the noise of the city.”

    Awww. Isn’t that special!

    A NYC chef making a traditional American meal on a traditional American holiday for a bunch of thankless, anti-American jerks.

    Let’s hope the feast doesn’t cause any of the OWS losers to have to go to the bathroom, because we know how that ends up.

    Luring them away from the city with the promise of free food. Like a trail of bread crumbs.

    It’s too bad the chef didn’t think about feeding some of the needy families now living in tent cities because of  foreclosure, or the permanant homeless, the shove them under the rug mentally ill, who are not taking part in the OWs protest.  

     I’m sure they’d appreciate a few bites of that nice hot Thanksgiving meal.

    100,000 homeless people in New York City and this a-hole is worried about feeding a bunch of pampered hipsters and anarchists whose only discernible goal is to breed discontent.

    If Saturday Night Live really wanted to actually be funny for a change, they’d do an OWS Thanksgiving. I can see it now…

    …instead of giving thanks, some dirty looking hobo yells “Mic Check” and begins to ramble on incoherently as all the quests at the dinner table repeat his rant. Then a couple of them chain themselves together on top of the table and when they are asked politely to get off the table they start screaming “SHAME SHAME SHAME”. While all this is happening some guy starts taking a sh*t in the corner.

    Rough two months? Who made it rough? Themselves!!!
    Great, enable them with another handout they think they deserve.

    It’s nice the chef is going to make a Thanksgiving feast for us all.  Republicans don’t even know the spirit of thanksgiving or for that matter what it means to be Christian.

    3. Be so obnoxious the traffic on the site will be reduced

    5. Accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

    Maybe they were all worn out from the raping, the murders, the assaults and fighting with the police.

    I think you mean the Koch/Freedomworks/Sammon interest groups.  You sure know their playbook.

    The least violent members of OWS is the one that shot himself in the head in Vermont, and the one that was killed in Oakland.

    There were how many murders at TEA Party events again? How many suicides?

    I wonder if anyone pointed out to this chef that a lot of the OWS crowd comes from the same groups that tend to denounce Thanksgiving as a celebration of the genocide of Native Americans.

    No, I said what I meant. So far I have seen you use all of them.

    In the post I am replying to now, you are using tactic number 5.

    At Tea Party events there have been exactly ZERO acts of violence of any kind, except the acts of violence perpetrated upon Tea Party members by thugs from the outside. In one incident a black Tea Party member was assaulted by a group of union counter protesters, and in another case another Tea Party member, who was a man in his seventies, had his finger bitten off by a counter protester in his twenties.

    No violence committed by any Tea Party members. Yet the media insists on the ridiculous idea that OWS and the Tea Party have something in common. That notion is patently ludicrous.

    Of course, the incidents at OWS camps that didn’t produce bodies we have no accurate count of because of their obstructive policy of non reporting of rapes, strong arm robberies and assaults. They have a lot of sheep in their ranks that will do what ever the organizers tell them to do, and that apparently includes taking one for the team. I would like to see the organizers arrested and prosecuted for obstruction of justice for making this official camp policy. It seems image is more important to them than the victims of crimes inside their camps.

    You first. Just because I identified your tactics and make others aware of how you do business does not mean anything is wrong with me. More to the point if it bothers you so much that you are commenting on it after a week, then you might be the one in need of help.

    Are the OWSer’s walking to Woodstock for Thanksgiving dinner or are they traveling by using that EVIL capitalist product,  the car or bus?
