3 Pre-Made Thanksgiving Dinner Options in Chicago

Spending Thanksgiving in the city comes with a few advantages. The greatest perk may be having a professional prepare a feast for you, which you can either pick up or have delivered, and then enjoy it with friends and family in the comfort of your own home. We’ve selected three convenient options for those living in downtown Chicago apartments:

Goddess and Grocer

With locations in the Gold Coast, Bucktown and River North, Goddess and Grocer is offering a variety of starters, appetizers and sides for those who wish to mix and match. Start with mini butternut squash risotto cakes or curried cauliflower and apple soup, then pick from 10 different sides to pair with the whole natural turkey, ravioli, or vegetable pot pie. For a one-stop order, Goddess and Grocer is selling a complete dinner for 12 with pecan and pumpkin pies, and choose from a variety of wine and craft beer to add on.

The Food Shop at East Bank Club

On the first floor of River North’s East Bank Club, The Food Shop is offering a few different options for orders this year, which need to be placed by Friday, November 18th. The a la carte menu includes turkey by the pound, sides like maple-glazed roasted sweet potatoes and sautéed green beans with mushrooms, and various baked goods. For a set package that serves ten people, the Food Shop includes all of the holiday standards for $225.

The Social Table

This Lincoln Park business provides BYOB, dinner party-style cooking classes. This holiday, the Social Table has a delicious menu to select options and customize the perfect meal. Choose white or dark meat, already cooked and carved, then go to town with sides: kale salad with roasted apple, pumpkin bisque with candied pepitas, mac & cheese, rosemary chive biscuits, and more. Dessert options include pumpkin bread pudding with salted bourbon caramel, apple-cranberry crumb pie, and butterscotch pudding.
