From staff reports
It’s Thanksgiving morning and there’s no turkey in the oven. You either don’t want to cook today or are facing a kitchen disaster that likely will be funny years later in the retelling, but not now.
Don’t worry. Access Waco has called more than 60 area restaurants to find who’s open today and found 13 that offer more than fast food, with most adding a special Thanksgiving turkey dinner to their regular menu offerings. Many have takeout options if you’d rather pick up your Thanksgiving dinner and take it home for the holiday.
