Don't Labor in the Kitchen on Thanksgiving! Go Out to Dinner in Los Angeles!

With Thanksgiving fast approaching, you may be thinking about what to do for the holiday this year.  If you are lucky enough to be invited to someone’s home for dinner, good for you!  Go and enjoy!  Eat well!  Drive safely!  But if you are far from those who would invite you, and travel isn’t possible this year, don’t despair. Treat the holiday the proper way, and make the most of it.  That doesn’t have to mean buying tons of raw materials and preparing them yourself for days, though.  In


Los Angeles, there are so many alternatives to the traditional cooking marathon that it will really give you something to be thankful about.




Going Out On Thanksgiving?  How Could You? How Could You Not!






Recognizing that many people in Los Angeles do not have the desire, or in some cases, the ability to prepare or attend a traditional Thanksgiving meal, an increasing number of restaurants have begun opening on Thanksgiving and serving a special menu.  These menus range from the traditional, with turkey and stuffing and cranberry sauce, to far-out meals with every course a new and interesting experience.

Los Angeles classic hasn’t closed since the 1920s, so you can bet they’ll be open on Thanksgiving.  They’ll be offering a full Thanksgiving dinner, complete with all the traditional trimmings for $20 per person.  Considering how much food you get for your money at The Original Pantry, you may have trouble getting out of your seat when you are finished, because you’ll be so full.
