It goes without saying that Thanksgiving is about, well, giving thanks. Though we at Vanmag have had a lot to be thankful for over the past year, we do all appreciate the second-greatest thing about the holiday: the food.
But, cooking your own feast can become a source of anxiety and stress—so we’re looking to these local restaurants that are serving up the food of the season. From dine-in classics like turkey and stuffing to creative take-homes like baked oyster kits, these local gems have you covered whether you want to indulge on your couch or dress up for a night on the town.
