The Outer Banks Thanksgiving Feast At The Red Sky Cafe

Watch as Chef Wes Stepp introduces us to the scrumptious Thanksgiving feast at the Red Sky Cafe. Thanksgiving at Red Sky has been a tradition for years, and the restaurant usually has full capacity taken by Noon, but I was able to get there early and have Wes walk us through his entire set up.
