CELEBRATING THANKSGIVING FOR MANY YEARS

Just because you don’t feel like cooking doesn’t mean you shouldn’t

stuff yourself with mashed potatoes and pie.

Great Grandfather William Dysart in a Pickering Square Meat Market

Our family likes to talk about Dysart’s being a Maine tradition for generations. We like to tell people that we know Maine food. We’ve all enjoyed a lot of it so that helps us with our bragging!

Recently in my Mom’s attic, I found this photo of my great grandfather William Dysart. In the early 1900’s Pickering Square was a market area filled with horses and wagons ready to sell farm goods. The picture doesn’t tell the year, just the location. My grandfather Ed Dysart, was Williams son. William was a Sea Captain in his youth. Later he had a meat market in Pickering Square, Bangor, Me. I like to think this is where our families love of good food started.

It’s not a holiday tradition without the spirit of family and comfort food. Dysart’s has been offering both for over 54 years. From the single driver on the road for the Holiday, to local families we try to be like home. This Thanksgiving will be a little different for the second year. We’ll be offering our meals in our dining rooms and takeout. We are also offering a “heat and serve meal for 4 or 6 members of your family.

What’s also a little different is we are asking you to order your pies and rolls by Friday the 19th because we are worried about supply shortages. All pre ordered Pies, Rolls and meals will only be available for pick-up in Hermon. Our talented bakers will continue to be baking pies and rolls for grab and go at both locations through the holiday.

Order a Thanksgiving Day feast created by the Dysart’s team. It serves 4 or 5 guests and includes everything you need, turkey and all the trimmings.

Pick everything up before Thanksgiving and you’ll have your feet up with no stress until the meal.
The meal is all cooked, sliced and ready to eat. Just heat in your oven or microwave and serve!
