Who is Open for Turkey Day in the Rock

Thanksgiving time does not have to mean slaving over a stove for hours or setting your table two days early. Sometimes it is worth it just to load up the bus and go out to eat with family and friends. Where to eat out on Thanksgiving is our #1 most requested story every year.
