Well, folks, we made it to November. That's something to be thankful for! Now that we hit Daylight Savings, try not to waste any daylight planning for Thanksgiving (or your equally important Friendsgiving) meals.

Why stand behind the stove and cook for 10 hours when you can order a delicious meal from a local restaurant instead? (nobody will ever know)

From traditional feasts to fun unconventional cuisine, check out which spots in Los Angeles are serving up something special for your Thanksgiving meal:

  • SPAGO BEVERLY HILLS - A 4-course family-style meal for $210 per person!

  • CAFE GRATITUDE - An all-vegan herbed seitan holiday roast, mushroom Wellington, French lentil + walnut loaves, butternut squash + truffled mushroom risotto…

  • URBAN PLATES - Thanksgiving Turkey Family Feast ($174.95, serves 6-8) includes cage-free herb-roasted turkey breast, mushroom stuffing, gravy, cranberry relish, and sliced artisan bread, plus your choice of 2 sides!

  • EVERYTABLE - Teamed up with local nonprofit My Friend’s Place to bring a special scratch-cooked meal to their menu. My Friends Plate (serves one, $8.49-$9.99) and My Friends Holiday Meal (serves four, $33.99-$39.99) are available for pickup or delivery!
