On one of the biggest food days of the year, perhaps you’re looking for somebody else to do the cooking. I get it. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us and planning your Thanksgiving day meals could be stressful.
Fortunately, there are some restaurants here to save the day. Here’s a list of businesses offering pre-order options, as well as places that will be open on Thanksgiving Day. This is the first draft of the list. As the big day looms closer, I know many more restaurants will officially confirm they will be open or available for preorder.
As always, if I missed something send over an email to wichitabyeb@gmail.com.
