Thanksgiving is coming. And if you’re like me, the idea of cooking Thanksgiving dinner is horrifying. Luckily, my sister-in-law is doing the honors this year.

A couple of years ago, it was my turn. The combination of pre-holiday stress, a buttinsky
mother-in-law, and the knowledge that my meal would never live up to my family’s fantasy of the perfect holiday meal was enough to make me consider dining out on Turkey Day.

If you’re looking to ditch cooking and relax this November 27th, check out the restaurant options listed below. Also, take a look at a list of top 2007 picks from Restaurant Girl; some of these eateries will undoubtedly be serving Thanksgiving dinner again this year.
