Just like most everything else, Thanksgiving is going to look a bit different this year. Many of us who normally travel great distances to attend large family gatherings will be avoiding airports and crowds, and sticking close to home instead. Likewise, people who normally enjoy their Thanksgiving meal at a restaurant may be interested in changing those plans as well, in order to avoid indoor dining and the possibility of being seated too close for comfort near other diners. Or perhaps you’re just not much of a cook, but you’d like to impress that special someone with a really fantastic spread (and if you pass it off as your own recipe, we won’t tell!)
Lucky for us all, there are still many restaurants around town devoting a significant amount of their business to online/take-out orders, and quite a few are offering special Thanksgiving themed meals you can order ahead of time and pick up the day before Thanksgiving, or in some cases, on Thanksgiving Day itself. For those picked up the day before, you will be given reheating instructions to make sure your meal tastes fresh from the oven. If you’d rather skip the reheating and truly take all of the work out the holiday, some locations will be open for you to pick up your meal on Thanksgiving Day. So check out these menus and spare yourself the time and trouble of cooking at home!
103 West
The 103 West events venue will be the pickup spot for Buckhead Life Restaurant Group’s annual take-home Thanksgiving feast. The meal features roast turkey, butternut squash soup, herb and sausage cornbread dressing, apple rosemary dressing, potato purée, sweet potato soufflé, green beans, and pumpkin and pecan pies. You can place your order online here. All meals must be picked up on Thanksgiving Day, November 26th, which makes this a great option if you’d rather have your meal cooked fresh rather than reheated at your home.
