For many people, a Thanksgiving feast is an overwhelming meal to prepare. There’s a gigantic bird that takes up the entire oven and requires constant, hours-long attention with a basting syringe, an intimidating array of side dishes which must all be hot at the same time, perhaps special dishware you use only a few times a year (and where’d we put the gravy boat last year?) and a variety of pies to make sure everyone’s favorite is there. It’s exhausting, even if you are good at delegating and have a kitchen full of helpers. So it’s no wonder that some people just say, “Hey, let’s meet up at a restaurant this year.”
