It’s widely believed that nothing beats a holiday meal cooked by a loved one who has spent hours or even days before a holiday lovingly basting turkeys and sprinkling fried onions over green bean casserole. But we know that the best holiday meal is one that your father, auntie or cousin didn’t have to cook themselves (or at least just had to throw in the oven) — and you can pick it up at one of these local restaurants.
