So, you want to cook for Thanksgiving but you don\u2019t have time; you don\u2019t want to make a mess; you\u2019re an awful cook but you don\u2019t want anyone to know. Or maybe you just know someone who you\u2019d like to spend time with on Thanksgiving with a minimum of time spent in the kitchen. Well, here is a list of five restaurants that will do the cooking for you this year (so you can take the credit):<\/p>\n
