DEL.ICIO.USDine In Or Dine Out?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Thanksgiving (gulp) is right around the corner, and many area restaurants are open for folks who don’t want to cook but still want to get their feast on.
Do you, or have you ever, dined out on Thanksgiving Day? If so, why? Were you away from home? Didn’t want to cook? Where did you dine? Was it worth it?
Look for our online listing of Thanksgiving openings this Monday, November 5.

Usually at the family gathering place (‘rents) for Thanksgiving, or another close family members/friends.
Recall one occasion in Middle School the fam was in FL over Thanksgiving so of course we dined out then.
I waited tables at TGIF (they opened at 4 or 5) and we’d get a smattering of tables but not much…or the left the ‘rents to have fun crowd.

We started going to Thanksgiving buffets a few years ago. I got tired of getting up at 5:00 a.m. and spending the day in the kitchen, then being too tired to eat, as well as being too tired to visit in the evening. At a buffet I can eat 25 different things, rather than concentrate on making a few things at my home that I will have to eat as leftovers for days afterward. The buffet at the downtown Ritz rocks! The food is to die for, live holiday music, and separate kids area where they can dine and watch cartoons away from you. I highly recommend the splurge.
