Thanksgiving is almost approaching, and many individuals are already beginning the frenzy of preparing their annual feast. However, if you're traveling, don't feel like cooking a huge dinner, or anything goes wrong with your home preparations, you might want to have this list ready.

Disasters with turkeys may cause panic in anyone—remember Clark Griswold's turkey jerky in Christmas Vacation or the Bumpus dogs snatching Ralphie's family poultry? We certainly do. Visit one of these restaurants open on Thanksgiving Day if you need some emergency mashed potatoes or if your family just wants to enjoy the day without having to do the work of cooking and cleanup.

Even though they are all national chains, you should phone your local restaurant to confirm their hours, availability, and price, just to be cautious. This year, more restaurants are providing delivery and to-go pickup than ever before!
