Thanksgiving—that one day each year where we are allowed to eat as much as we want, and for an entire day. But as most look forward to that day, there are many of us who cringe at the thought of cooking.So, is it a surprise it's one of the busiest days for restaurants? Your neighborhood spot around the corner may be closed that day, but a number of restaurants will feature special prix fixe holiday menus.
