Thanksgiving Meals from Chicago Restaurants
Prime & Provisions
We love food all day every day, but there is no single day more focused on celebrating food and feasting together than Thanksgiving. It’s a day where the feast takes center stage, bringing us together with those we love most. Whether you’re gathering around the same table, meeting outdoors in the open air, or just seeing each other over Zoom, you’ll need a great meal to go with those smiling faces and thankful hearts. And as much as it might sound sappy, Chicago restaurants are stepping up once again to fill our stomachs and our hearts with a little extra joy. As always, they’re ready with great meals just for you…
