Last year I was miserable trying to get everything in order on Thanksgiving. This year I plan to wise-up and pre-order a heat and eat type of Thanksgiving to-go. Where can I find a delicious Turkey? How about flavorful sides? Desserts?
I’m willing to order piece meal from multiple locations if the taste is worth it. |

| L'Auberge Chez Francois does a takeout Thanksgiving for 8 which sounds delicious. We've done their takeout Christmas menu and it was wonderful. |

| We did Wegmans last year and were happy with it. |

| The year my son was born we did Wegmans for Thanksgiving and Whole Foods for Christmas—nearly identical menu items. Everyone agreed Wegmans was better. One year we picked up a whole family meal from Cracker Barrel (in Manassas) for Thanksgiving. It was AMAZING. Delicious and everything was warm and ready to eat. |

I'm planning on doing this, OP, and searched the archives recently. It seemed like the places that got the best reviews were Ridgewells, Neighborhood Provisions, and Balduccis. Whole Foods didn't get a lot of love and Wegmans was mixed. Balduccis got good reviews but people noted it's expensive.
One nice thing about Ridgewells is that it's more a la carte and there are tons of options, whereas most others you order a pre-set thanksgiving meal. |

Nieman Marcus will cater your entire Thanksgiving dinner or portions of it. It’s absolute perfection.

Ridgewells seems surprisingly reasonable given the increased prices everywhere else. I am tempted. |

+1 We've done Wegmans and Cracker Barrel. Both were good but we liked Cracker Barrel better. We do Chinese for Christmas - it's so much more pleasant not to have to do all that cooking! |

| Didn’t balduccis do a lot of people do a lot of people wrong last year? I remember seeing it in the news. People standing in lines for 3-5 hours to be handed meatloaf and salmon because they ran out of Turkey. |

| Wegmans was awful at Christmas. Wouldn’t even feed the leftover filet to my dog. It was good at thanksgiving but sides are easy so I didn’t buy those. |
