It’s the annual turkey tussle, so to speak. If you cook at home, dirty dishes ensue, but so do leftovers. If you eat out, there are no leftovers, but also no shopping, cooking, cleanup or potential turkey triage or tragedy. Drunken relatives? They’re a possibility either way.
If you’ve decided to dine out, here are some options for restaurants making fare of fowl (and much more) with à la carte dishes, prix fixe menus or set dinners on Thanksgiving Day, Nov 28. Reservations made well in advance are typically required.
