It has been a YEAR, and don’t you deserve an easy Thanksgiving? If you’re staying home and avoiding large family gatherings (likethe CDCandNorth Carolina health officialsadvise you to do), you can further simplify the Thanksgiving dinner equation by ordering your meal from one of the many Triangle restaurants doing takeout this holiday. Think of it as a win-win situation; less kitchen cleanup for you, and much-needed support for local restaurants struggling to stay afloat during the pandemic.

Here are 10 Triangle restaurants offering everything from simple sides to the whole meal this Thanksgiving. Offerings and influences span the globe and you can choose to pick up just a pie or have the whole meal taken care of, but however you go about it you can be thankful you did your part to stay safe this year and help out some amazing area restaurants.

Note: bothThe News & ObserverandWRALalso have roundups of area restaurants and their Thanksgiving dine-in and/or takeout options.
