Pecan Lodge Thanksgiving Orders; 50 Cent Pints at Malai

DEEP ELLUM—Sure, your mom makes a mean turkey — but meat master Justin Fourton probably does it better. Pecan Lodge is now taking Thanksgiving orders via its website: There's smoked turkey, smoked ham with apricot-molasses glaze, spice-crusted beef tenderloin, whole briskets and racks of ribs, and housemade sausage links. The last day to order is Friday, November 20 by noon and orders must be picked up on Wednesday, November 25 between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. [EaterWire]

UPTOWN—Cheap beer is awesome, and it's even better when it's not Bud Light or PBR. Malai Kitchen to the rescue: The West Village restaurant will pour 50 cent pints of its house-brewed bia hoi Vietnamese beer on the patio all day Saturday, November 14 in honor of NTX Beer Week. They'll also be serving up street food like grilled chicken hearts and tempura frog legs. [EaterWire]

OAK CLIFF—Small Brewpub's Misti Norris is teaming up with chef Robert Lyford from McKinney's Patina Green and for a six-course dinner. The six-course menu will feature goats and produce from Windy Hills Farm in Comanche. It goes down Sunday, November 8 at Small; tickets are $75, or $100 with cocktail and beer pairings. [EaterWire]
