Thanksgiving dinner options in the neighborhood

I make a mean breakfast but that’s pretty much the extent of my culinary skills. So if I was hosting Thanksgiving, I am sure I would be turning to someone else to do all the heavy lifting.

I’ve come across a couple of options for getting your fill of turkey on November 26 without destroying your kitchen (or your patience). If you know of others in the neighborhood, leave it in a comment and I’ll add it to the post. I bet some of you know great places to get pies…

Thanksgiving at Beach Chalet / Park Chalet

Visit their website to view menus and make reservations. [via Zagat’s Guide to Thanksgiving in SF ]
