Due to a rapid rise in COVID cases, Gov. Jay Inslee has banned indoor gatherings with people outside one’s household (unless specific quarantine and testing precautions are taken beforehand) and urged all Washingtonians to cancel Thanksgiving plans. But even though visiting family and friends is out, those staying home can still get some excellent holiday food, without having to cook. Eater already published a takeout guide that highlighted some family meal kits from restaurants, but for those who are dining solo — or with just one other person — a la carte takeout menus and single serving meals may be more practical. Here are a few options to consider, listed from west to east.

Bainbridge Island’s modern Vietnamese restaurant is another restaurant with some Thanksgiving meal flexibility, offering both a full-fledged family meal and items a la carte. The latter includes a full roasted duck, sausage and shrimp risotto, fermented shrimp and chili green, and almond cassava cakes, with bottles of wine available for add-ons.

Among the five holiday meal choices at chef Eric Rivera’s Ballard restaurant lab, the Friendsgiving option may be the best suited for solo diners. The $25-per-person kit includes a sazon turkey leg, green beans with roasted carrots, mashed potatoes with gravy, pumpkin flan made from a family recipe, and a quart of sangria. Plenty for one, without breaking the bank.
