Face it: You and your oven have, at best, a dysfunctional relationship. You spend all year eating out and ordering in. Then, come Thanksgiving, that oven you’ve been sneering at for 364 days is suddenly your new best friend. But your oven isn’t going to have any of it. It’ll burn your biscuits and suck every drop out of your juicy turkey. Then it will sit back and laugh at you.
But we’ve got a plan: order in. And not just the turkey. The stuffing too. Plus the gravy, the mashed potatoes and the pumpkin pie–all of it. And don’t forget the yams. The Fairmont Chicago (200 N. Columbus Drive) offers a fully cooked Thanksgiving-to-go for $165; the meal serves 8 to 10.
Call 312-565-6665 to order your Thanksgiving-to-go by 3 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 22. Then, just pick it up at the concierge desk on Thursday, Nov. 23. You may have to turn on the oven to warm it, but the Fairmont gives you a 1-800 number to call in case the beast starts fighting back.
