An unconventional Thanksgiving feast

Today’s Maryland Business cover story is about Marylanders who plan to turn to restaurants, grocery stores and catering companies to handle the cooking chores of a Thanksgiving feast.

For the first time in my life, I’m set to be one of them. Only I won’t be in Maryland. Another person in our editorial department is in the same situation. So as helpful as the story is to those who plan to stay in state, where should the rest of us look to guide our holiday plans?

The answer just might be OpenTable.com.

Want steak in Manhattan? Sushi in Fort Worth? Fusion cuisine in Boise? There’s a good chance the site can find you the restaurant and make you the reservation. I’m already searching for my Thanksgiving dinner. I’m in the mood for a good fettuccini carbonara – just like the Pilgrims would have had if they’d had more options.

So whether you’re looking for a hassle-free holiday – or you’re just a glutton with diverse tastes – check it out. Let us know what you find.
