Nothing depletes the appetites of the time-crunched or the cooking-wary like the thought of preparing an elaborate Thanksgiving meal. But it's hard to give up the comfort and tradition of dining at home. Give your china its once-a-year cameo with the help of these restaurants and gourmet grocers. Peruse their carryout menus, put in a call (in advance) and get ready to give thanks for the easiest Turkey Day dinner you've ever hosted. Just think of all the pots you won't be scrubbing.
