Ordering Thanksgiving dinner takes planning, too.
If you’re leaving the holiday cooking to experts, you’ve got plenty of options. You can order an entire dinner for the entire family, or you can order a turkey or ham and make the rest yourself.
If your mashed potatoes are always a runny mess — or a pasty blob — you can order carryout sides.
And there are a lot of bakers around central Ohio who are much better at pies than we are.
Reservations are another option, but you can’t wait too long. Restaurants are booking up already.
Here is a sampling of your leave-it-to-someone-else options this Thanksgiving in central Ohio. We’ve broken the list down into restaurants where you can dine out, have entire dinners to serve at home, and there are places to get a just turkey, a few sides or all the holiday staples, and pies and other desserts.
