'Weekend Lunch' at Littleneck; Larry David's Thanksgiving

GOWANUS ? Littleneck is launching "weekend lunch" this weekend, which is similar to brunch, but not the same thing. It will run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday, with items like dill and caraway cured arctic char, shrimp and grits, coffee milk, and a Maine lobster roll. The Littleneck team is also rolling out an oyster happy hour starting next week. [EaterWire]

HELL'S KITCHEN ? Immaculate Infatuations's annual Christmas party, the Turkey Leg Ball, is next Wednesday, November 28, and now the menu is online. The theme is XMAS from TEXAS, so Austin's Foreign & Domestic is cooking up a menu that includes a raw bar and Texas meats and veggies. Tickets are $85. [Immaculate Infatuation]

GOWANUS ? And in other Gowanus news, Root Hill Burger opened today. This is the burger joint cousin to the popular neighborhood spot Root Hill Café, with a selection of burgers by Prune and Gramercy Tavern alum Cali Rivera. [GYFO]

THANKSGIVING WIRE ? Eater National has the video for Larry David's Thanksgiving special, which existed last year but was inexplicably pulled from Funny or Die. Now it's back, with David recounting his Thanksgiving experiences with his mom (who'd never sit down to eat), his dad (who'd yell at her to sit down), his cousin Arthur, and Uncle Leo (who often took his shirt off). Or as he puts it, "Just another Brooklyn thanksgiving." [Eater National]
