It will all be over...soon
On Monday, we served up an abbreviated but tasty list of local restaurants that were hosting Thanksgiving dinners on November 25th
Today we have a somewhat more filling platter of possibilities ranging from the inexpensive to the sublime. There's something on our list for every budget.
Tomorrow we'll have a list of restaurants that are open on Thanksgiving but not serving turkey. Yes, it's heresy, but in America, there's always a culinary rebel out there.
The Costly

The Capital Grille on the Country Club Plaza -- if you want to put up with the madness of
that neighborhood on Thanksgiving Day -- will be serving from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. In addition to the regular menu, the restaurant will offer a traditional Thanksgiving turkey dinner with the bird, dressing and mashed potatoes for $29 per person.
