Thanksgiving at the Los Angeles Times

As many of you are aware, the pressrooms at Olympic and Orange County will be churning out the largest daily newspaper of the year for the Times, to be published tomorrow. This means the men and women of the Operations Departments will be at the newspaper, and not with their families, but we are compensated well for missing the holiday. Nonetheless, we would rather be home with our families.

Six or seven years ago at the Olympic Facility we were treated to the worst Thanksgiving meal I have ever experienced at the Times, cold pressed turkey that tasted terrible. When Mark Kurtich was made aware of the situation at Oly, everyone was treated to two special meals at our facility; he even brought in a special chef to prepare the meal.

Without a doubt, today’s meal will be tasty, as it has been over the last six or seven years.

Thank you Mark.

I remember a few years ago we had a nice woman as manager of the cafeteria and the food was good comfort food.
