Let’s face it – the past 18 months have felt like a decade. If you’re like most Americans, you’re exhausted. And the thought of cooking a wild bird or foraging for festive provisions is the last thing on your mind. Heck, at this point, you’re just trying to find a clean t-shirt and make sense of Tuesday.

Fun fact: Most folks start their Thanksgiving meal planning in September. That means you’re already behind the eight ball, by societal standards. But in 2021, we’re throwing standards out the window.

To make your Thanksgiving holiday a little easier, we’ve compiled a list of locals offering to cook your Thanksgiving meal for you. Dine-in or take-out, we’ve got you covered.

Take Out

:: Bayou in the Pines is offering six family style heat & serve dishes, each of which will feed 6 to 8 people. Free delivery with a $75 order.

:: Cracker Barrel: Cracker Barrel is offering several Thanksgiving Heat n’ Serve meals, serving between 4 and 10 people. A variety of whole, fresh-baked pies also available. Cracker Barrel is encouraging guests to order in advance and schedule an early pick up. Guests who pre-order and pick up a Heat n’ Serve meal on the Monday or Tuesday before Thanksgiving will receive a bonus card, valued between $5 and $10.
