The South Bay restaurants have come out in full force this Thanksgiving. If you have a small family or you would rather not have to hassle with the cooking, there are plenty of options to choose from.
Some of the restaurants offer a traditional Thanksgiving Dinner, other offer a modern take on the meal and some offer food that is usually not served for Thanksgiving.
Michael and I have prepared a list to choose from. Hopefully you can compare these offering side-by-side and see what makes sense for you.
And from all of us at South Bay Foodies, we wish you a very happy Thanksgiving!
