Ah, Thanksgiving. That time when we all come around a table and visit with people we might see every week or just once a year, right around this time.
While some may worry about conversations of politics or religion bringing down the vibe, others focus on the food. So if you’d rather focus your efforts on steering the conversations to happy places, you can always have someone else do the cooking – and there are plenty of places in town for that.
Here are some places in Dallas where you can order your entire meal or just a few parts to complement your homemade one:
