Skip the Hassle in the Kitchen with Dine-In or Take-Out Feasts
Written By: Brittany Lawrence Orange County Thanksgiving
Thanksgiving is right around the corner and although it is an exciting and food-filled holiday, for many, it is also a time full of stress. Taking all day to prepare one meal may be tradition, but that doesn’t mean you can’t shy away from time to time. Why not spend the entire day with family and loved ones and let someone else take the responsibility of cooking and cleaning? These 15 restaurants in OC are ready to serve up Thanksgiving dinner for you and yours.
