Where to Get Carryout on Thanksgiving

Lots of D.C. restaurants will take cooking off the proverbial holiday plate — just pick up, reheat, and serve.

Some restaurants offer the whole feast — turkey, stuffing, sides, pies, and more — while others prepare just portions of the meal. Cooking an entire dinner and don't want to have to worry about dessert? Fear not: there are plenty of places in D.C. to order pie.

Read on for some of Eater’s top to-go Thanksgiving picks (kitchen clean-ups not included):
