hether you entertain at home or take the family out to dinner for Thanksgiving, holiday celebrations will look different this year as the ongoing pandemic drives us toward smaller, socially distanced gatherings. Some restaurants may not offer their usual Thanksgiving buffets or cannot accommodate large groups while safely adhering to social distancing measures. But you can still support your favorite restaurants during the holidays (and save lots of time in the kitchen!) by getting main dishes and sides to-go.
