Since many family members and friends won’t be traveling to join in-home Thanksgiving feasts this year, a good option might be to just let the pros do the cooking. A number of great local restaurants will be open for dine-in service on Thanksgiving 2020, and some are also offering meals to take home. Here are some excellent choices.
