For fans of food pictures in shoe threads, had reservations for Thanksgiving but then Los Angeles County decided to ban outdoor dining again starting tonight at 10:00pm, so had to find someplace to have turkey today.

Ended up going to the worst restaurant I have ever been to.

Here's turkey in a tent and me. No words can describe how horrible everything at this restaurant was.

Turned out to be machine sliced processed turkey and everything went downhill from there.

While on the subject of turkey (and since this is an Allen-Edmonds thread) some turkey advice at a store near the A-E store in Century City.

Sorry to hear that, sir. Were you closer, I'd invite you over, well, you are invited. Happy Thanksgiving to you and to all!

Happy Thanksgiving to all my forum friends. May your turkey be hot, your cranberries be tart and your shoes be old and shiny. Vintage Florsheim shell, of course.

My basic rule with trouser / shoe pairing:
Neutral or earth tones get paired with a color.
Navy shoes: grey or brown trousers.
Brown shoes: anything BUT grey or brown trousers.

There are additional subtleties like matching luminance (natty shell gets a bright/mid green trousers pairing, while a darker brown gets a dark green, for example), but the above is my starting point.

Chili and oxblood are both red enough to qualify for grey trousers in my opinion (though chili is on the border, which is why it is so versatile).

YMMV - this is my approach.
