With Thanksgiving being over and noting that December 6th is just around the corner it’s time to stuff our faces once again, and prepare for the celebration of Hanukkah or Chanukah, either spelling is okay here. Whether you are Jewish or not this time of the year is something to look forward to because it’s an excuse to get in all those oily, greasy foods you have been avoiding all year. It’s time to forget about those summer bod goals and bulk up for the winter season.

In order to celebrate the lasting of oil for 8 days, which should have lasted one during the time of the Maccabean Revolt in Jerusalem, we eat. We eat by cooking all our favorite foods in oil without feeling regret afterward. If you are in Tallahassee during this time you need to check out these restaurants for some great oily foods.
1. Momos Pizza
If pizza is your go to oily, greasy food than this is the place you need to visit during this wonderful time. They have amazing pizza, breadsticks, calzones, and even salads that can fulfill your oily cravings.
2. Donut Kingdom

If fancy doughnuts fancy your oil craving then you must visit here. One of their newest flavors is the Maple Bacon Donut, which if you love bacon I heard is fantastic. What’s better than sugary fried dough?
3. Munchiez Rollz
This new restaurant has some of the most creative sushi I’ve ever had. Other than having several rolls with crispy tempura batter they also have some deep fried Oreos covered with powdered sugar.
4. Shell Oyster House
