Whether you’re hosting a small group, need some backup for a big family, or just want to grab an impressive dish to contribute to the Thanksgiving spread, we’ve got you covered. Contributor Sophia Lo joins host Megan Harris to break down the best places to outsource your holiday meal — sides, mains, desserts, and all. Plus, we talk about some ways to give back, which restaurants are still taking reservations for the big day, and where we recommend you go if you find yourself in need of a last-minute meal.
