| We had some good meals delivered from Relish Catering. They deliver and it’s much more reasonably priced than Ridgewells. |

| These two aren’t even remotely in the same league. Balduccis all the way. |

| Fresh Market is another good option. |

+1 Whole Foods looks good but the taste leaves a lot to be desired. |

| Balduccis is amazing - expensive too but worth it for a treat. Whole Foods is terrible now - tastes bland and not worth the money imo. |

| This might depend on where you live, but the Balducci's in Bethesda completely had a meltdown two years ago. The food is delicious but I would never order Thanksgiving from them again. Hours long waits, etc. You can probably find the chains of people complaining on social media. I did learn last year that if you want the traditional sides from Balducci's (which are delicious), you can just go into the store and order it at the deli counter. I guess that might leave a litle up in the air bc you aren't ordering in advance, but I would never order a dinner from them after the mess last time . Or, maybe pick it up the day before in case the logistics go badly again, you can try to recoup with somewhere else as a last resort. |

| Oh wow, I just went to Neighborhood Provisions's website -- we got Thxgiving meals from them the past few years -- and they are closed! So sad. Very curious about other delivery/catering options. Occasions is good but a bit more formal than I like. Nhood Provisions had more casual homestyle food like pimento mac n cheese etc. Any ideas? |
