More than 400 pounds of food — and history — is on Thanksgiving menu for Canes

You think you’ve got a lot of cooking to do to prepare for Thanksgiving dinner?

Imagine how busy the kitchen will be Thursday at the Pittsburgh Marriott, where the hotel catering department will be feeding the entire University of Miami football team and staff on the eve of their game against the University of Pittsburgh (Friday, noon, ABC).

The feast will include more than 250 pounds of turkey, 100 pounds of mashed potatoes, 50-plus pounds of stuffing, 10 gallons of gravy, and 30 pies in five different flavors — pumpkin, sweet potato, pecan, blueberry and apple.
