Good meal but a long way away, or a mediocre meal close by?

If you had to decide on a gourmet Thanksgiving meal, but it would be an 85 mile round trip, or a meal that's adequate but not outstanding and a 3 minute drive, which would you choose?
 

If I timed it right I might be able to do both, gobble, gobble, gobble!!!

If I had to choose it would be more about the people than the food.

I myself prefer to spend a lazy quiet day at home with or without company.
 
We always have Thanksgiving dinner at home, but if I were to travel, I think I would like to go the 85 miles. The hubby loves to drive,and I like to ride, we have nothing but time so it would be a nice outing. Still,family around my dining room table can't be beat.
 

I'd go with the gourmet, 40+ miles one way is not too far if the food is good and the experience will be enjoyable and memorable.
 
I'd go with adequate and close by, all other things equal. Don't care much for driving or even riding with someone else. Not too picky about food either.
 
40+ miles each way isn't terrible, but traffic can be really bad in some parts of the country on Thanksgiving, especially if the weather is rainy or snowy. All other things being equal, like the other people who are going, I'd opt for the closer one. I can always make a gourmet meal at home.
 
Think it depends on who I would be sharing the meal with. Could be the best food ever, but if I am not wiling to travel 40 miles to see the people, I probably would not go. I have been doing the best Thanksgivings ever..making a pretty decent meal at home, and people come here. Just wish I had a big enough house for the big family gathering from when I was a kid
