Angelinos, if slaving over a hot oven to make a Thanksgiving feast at home isn’t your idea of a festive holiday, don’t worry. No one needs to tell you there are hundreds of places to dine out on Thanksgiving Day or pick up a precooked meal that tastes like it’s straight out of Mom’s kitchen (or maybe even better).
We rounded up a few of them in a blog post this time last year. As expected, some are no longer around, and new ones have popped to take their place. Here are a few that are still going strong, plus new additions to the scene, as well as some classics that just seem to get more popular with time.
If you’re planning to dine in or carry out this Thanksgiving, be sure to call ahead to make a reservation or place your order. The earlier you plan, the sooner you’ll be chowing down.
