Thanksgiving traditionalists, I’m going to need you to look away for a minute. We’re going to discuss some alternative approaches to this holiday meal because cooking a multicourse meal from scratch does not work for everyone. Heck, eating in a house on Thanksgiving doesn’t work for everyone.
Maybe your group is too big to manage at home. Maybe you’re running in the YMCA Turkey Trot that morning. Maybe circumstances are simply telling you this is the year to do things differently.
Whether you’re planning a Friendsgiving celebration, an extended family gathering or a cozy meal for a small group, we have some creative options that could serve up some real gratitude. Thanksgiving traditionally creates the busiest travel days of the year in America, which means hotels do booming business. On-site restaurants put on lavish spreads and you don’t need to be a hotel guest to partake.
You will, however, need reservations and you’ll want to nail those down as quickly as possible. Here are some of the best hotel restaurants in the area that will be serving Thanksgiving meals. 97 West, Hotel Drover This award-winning restaurant in the Fort Worth Stockyards will be sure to create an unforgettable Thanksgiving meal.
