This Thanksgiving, don't sit down with your loved ones around Grandma's table and gush about the delicious food she slaved away in the kitchen to fix. Don't laugh and make merry in the childhood home that holds so very many wonderful memories. Don't tote your dishes into the kitchen when you're done and help clean up. Why would you do any of these nice, wonderful things when you can go to a proper restaurant, fork over some cash, and get a forkful of something delicious without having to lift a finger--besides the one you'll need later to loosen your belt?

Indeed, make reservations today so that your family can have a very Norman Rockwell Thanksgiving this year at any of these fine--and not-so-fine, but no less delicious--dining establishments right here in Dallas. This way, nobody has to worry about getting ready for company by dusting, vacuuming, or cleaning up 68 beer cans from the coffee table.
