These Area Restaurants Will Cook For You On Thanksgiving

You know, sometimes you just don't want to cook a big feast. Maybe it's just you celebrating by yourself (no judgement here, I've done it). Maybe you recognize your shortcomings as a cook and don't want to put any through that. And maybe you just don't feel like doing dishes. I get it. We hosted a Thanksgiving on Saturday, we ran the dishwasher twice on Sunday, we've still got dishes to do. But I digress

These Quincy restaurants are taking the hard work out of Thanksgiving dinner. At least for you. There are still going to be kitchen and wait staffs on hand for this. They'll be doing the hard work. On Thanksgiving no less. Tip extra for their troubles.
