Pre-Order an Amazing Thanksgiving Meal In Collin County

Thanksgiving is almost here and it might be a weird one. Some are choosing not to celebrate, to celebrate in smaller groups, to use socially-distanced measures and more.

Thanksgiving is almost here and it might be a weird one. Some are choosing not to celebrate, to celebrate in smaller groups, to use socially-distanced measures and more.

For those looking for a safe, delicious way to celebrate, make it as stress-free as possible: pre-order a chef-made Thanksgiving meal. We are thankful for Norma’s Cafe’s Mile-High pies and Lockhart Smokehouse’s smoked turkey, for the Holy Grail’s and much, much more. 

From complete meals to sides, entrees, and desserts, here are the best ways to get your Thanksgiving ordered and sorted by Monday. (Pay attention to deadlines. The sooner you order, the better.)
