Buffalo meat loaf, fried rice, Portuguese beans, scalloped corn, barbecued ribs ... it wasn't your traditional Thanksgiving feast – it was better!

Nine Greater Sacramento-area restaurants/caterers and service organizations – all part of "Good Day Sacramento's" ongoing "Brown Bag" cooking competition – came together this Thanksgiving to host a one-of-a-kind meal for more than 100 students at Mather Community Campus.

Hosted by reporter Tina Macuha and producer Jason "Toots" Maloney, the event was showcased several times during the show's 7 to 10 a.m. holiday broadcast, and featured interviews with Volunteers of America Program Director Ellen O'Neil, as well as with diners and contributing chefs.

TLC Catering, Ludy's Main St. BBQ & Catering, Elkhorn Station, Vince's Ristorante, Crisp Catering, Market Club, Johnny Garlics and the Vizcaya Inn were the restaurants and catering companies that supplied the food and served the meals to an excited and appreciative group of singles and families at the transtional housing and job-training facility's dining room.

"I am amazed – this is a feast for the gods," said O'Neil. "It's great, we really appreciate it."
