...That sense of kinship runs wide on Thanksgiving.
Farmer Girl Restaurant in Lake Worth for two decades has offered free turkey and trimmings to whoever walks through its door.
"We say it's for the homeless, for the needy, but a lot of customers are here looking for a friendly smile," manager Phyllis Brim said.
The warmth runs both ways. Brim said customers often pat her on the back as they leave. "It makes me feel great," she said.
An estimated 30 volunteers, including Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler, teamed with kitchen staff to cook and serve food to an estimated 1,600 people. Tyler, who's in town for a Friday night concert at the Sound Advice Amphitheatre, waited on tables and served food for two hours.
