Feast by Chef Thomas

At Feast, we strive to raise the standard of dining for every member of our community.

We’re dedicated to creating accessible culinary experiences that blend creativity, quality, and knowledge, making flavorful food an experience everyone can enjoy. I am Thomas Harper, a seasoned executive chef and founder of Feast, a culinary venture based in Grand Island, Nebraska. With over a decade of experience in the culinary world, my journey as a chef has taken me from high-profile kitchens,

to intimate, personalized dining experiences, where my love for quality ingredients and expert technique shines through in every meal I create. At Feast, I combine my passion for food with a deep commitment to community engagement. I’m driven by a desire to bridge the gap between food access and food equity. That’s why at Feast, I not only serve up delicious, high-quality meals, but I also work to ensure that everyone in our community has the knowledge to prepare food in their own home. From in-home culinary instruction to large-scale event catering, I strive to bring the best of food culture to Grand Island.

Show us your turkeys! Whether you’re brining, roasting, frying, or just getting creative with your prep, we’d love to see your masterpieces. Share your photos in the comments before or after the big cook.

We’re so thankful for the opportunity to share our love of food with all of you. As you prepare your Thanksgiving Feast, let’s talk turkey—and go over some important turkey cooking safety tips to keep your meal both delicious and safe.

Turkey Safety 101:

Thaw Safely: If you’re working with a frozen turkey, make sure it’s completely thawed. Allow about 24-72 hours of thawing in the fridge depending on weight. Never thaw your turkey on the counter!

Brine with Care: Keep your turkey and brine refrigerated the entire time to avoid bacterial growth.

Cook to Temperature: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. The thickest part of the breast and thigh should reach 165°F before serving.

Avoid Cross-Contamination: Wash your hands, surfaces, and utensils thoroughly after handling raw turkey.

Rest Before Carving: Let your turkey rest for at least 20 minutes after cooking. This locks in juices and makes carving easier.

Have a safe, flavorful, and Happy Thanksgiving from Feast! 🦃

Do you rinse canned veggies?
Drop a 🥕 if you do!
Drop a 🥦 if you don’t!
