Hosts have already begun preparing their Thanksgiving menus for the big day. Assembling a perfect holiday dinner — from making sure you get everyone’s favorite item to trying to put your own creative spin on the meal — is no small feat.
If the planning is already getting overwhelming, take a few items off your to-do list and consider ordering a Thanksgiving feast from a local Atlanta favorite. This year, many metro Atlanta restaurants and bakeries are offering fully prepared meals and desserts to add some special flavor to your holiday.
