Thanksgiving

Yes, this old-school bakery and diner chain offers tons of delicious pies, but it also takes the rest of Thanksgiving seriously. At locations throughout L.A., including Long Beach, Cerritos and Montebello, you can order several heat-and-eat meals, including a whole turkey feast with an 11- to 13-pound bird ($199.99), a whole ham feast ($189.99), and a half ham feast for smaller gatherings ($104.99). Each comes with an array of sides, including smashed potatoes, homestyle stuffing and Southern-style green beans, plus your choice of pie. The larger meals feed six or more, while the half ham serves up to four. If you’re handling the turkey yourself, the Everything But the Bird package ($109.99) takes care of the sides. Individual turkey and ham dinners are also available, along with à la carte sides. And, of course, there’s pie — lots of it. Choose from classics like apple, pumpkin and pecan to boysenberry, banana-strawberry, pumpkin maple crunch and more. Orders can be placed online.

U2 is coming to SoFi Stadium for the first time — and performing during a Rams game for the first time in nearly 25 years.

The legendary Irish rock band will headline the halftime show for the NFL’s first Thanksgiving eve game as the Rams host the Green Bay Packers on Nov. 25. The game will stream live on Netflix.

The only other time U2 has performed at halftime of an NFL game was at Super Bowl XXXVI on Feb. 3, 2002, when the New England Patriots defeated the then-St. Louis Rams 20-17 at the Superdome in New Orleans.

“There’s a reason U2 has headlined stadiums for decades: they don’t just perform, they deliver iconic moments audiences remember forever,” Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a statement. “We’re thrilled that they’ll bring that same magic to the NFL stage on Netflix. It’s going to be an unforgettable night for football fans and Netflix members worldwide.”

U2’s halftime show will feature special guests, the streaming service said.

Netflix has featured big-name halftime performers during some of the previous NFL games it has streamed, including Beyoncé on Christmas day in 2024 and Snoop Dogg on Christmas last year.

U2 — which features singer Bono, lead guitarist the Edge, bass player Adam Clayton and drummer Larry Mullen Jr. — celebrated their 50th anniversary last month with a concert. The group performed at Mount Temple Comprehensive School, where the four members were students when they first got together as a band in 1976.

The band has won 22 Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. Its 16th studio album, Carnival de Luz, is set to drop on Nov. 13.
