Even if your palate is way more sophisticated than your cooking abilities, there’s no reason your Thanksgiving dinner (or your guests) should suffer – outsource parts of your holiday meal to some of the city’s most talented chefs. Whether you just need someone else to handle the sides so you can focus on the bird, or if you’d just as soon leave the whole thing from soup to nuts (literally) in the capable hands of a culinary professional, you can find just the level of assistance you need below. With all sorts of take-out, to-go and pick-up options, cookers from all over town are packing up Turkey Day feasts that will take all the hard work out of hosting.
