One of the biggest food holidays of the year is coming, and everyone should be prepared. For those who are hosting a big Thanksgiving dinner and need some help — or for guests who just want to impress — there are many fantastic options around the city that are currently taking prepared food requests. Deadlines for final orders vary by location, but many can accommodate customers right up until November 28 with a variety of mains, desserts, and sides — good news for procrastinators. (Plus, don’t forget about the restaurants that are open Thanksgiving Day for lunch or dinner.)

Coyle’s connects a solid foundation in French technique with ingredients that are in season in the PNW. On Thanksgiving, that means offerings such as a pumpkin pie with the main ingredient roasted in-house, a pecan pie with chocolate and bourbon, and apple and almond galettes. Coyle’s is also selling pie supplies and some back-at-home cream currant scones for those who something a little more DIY.

The Shambles

Maple Leaf’s major meat purveyor (an Eater 38 spot) doesn’t focus on turkey, but those looking for other types of protein will have plenty of choices around Thanksgiving, including rib roast. Maybe the most helpful offering is that the Shambles will custom make a party-ready charcuterie spread for customers that come in with their own boards, no matter how large or small.

Eater Seattle’s 2018 chef of the year Eric Rivera hopes to take the stress out of cooking a turkey. The Addo team plan to brine, cure, and truss 10-20 pound pre-ordered birds, throwing in sauces, casseroles, and stocks as well ($60; available for pickup on November 26 and 27). Rivera also asks all those who buy a turkey from him to donate the cost to a charity of their choosing.
