For those who aren’t chefs and don’t aspire to try, at least on the biggest holidays of the year, there are restaurants and stores that will gladly take the chore off your hands.
Whether you need a simple veggie tray or a 10-person dinner with all the trimmings, your wish is their command, given that you give them enough notice and a few clams.
Don’t wait too long to reserve yours, though, or you’ll be out in the cold, shopping and schlepping and (shiver) cooking it all yourself.
