Willie Bird Turkeys, Santa Rosa

On Monday morning I pulled into the lot at Willie Bird soon after opening (8:30am). A refrigerated trailer for storing the extra inventory for this peak was unloading pallets stacked with fresh birds. I stepped inside to find only two people ahead of me in line. By the time I'd filled up two coolers with the 10 lb. smoked bird I'd ordered ahead and as much turkey bones, giblets, sausage, and necks as they would hold, the line was about a dozen deep and the parking lot was full. I expressed my appreciation to the stalwart staff for the happiness they were providing for thousands of people this week.
