Champagne, ham, and yuletide beer.

Plus, what's really going on with the closings of Lao 18 and Sweet Baby Ray's.

Here's where to find what you really want. You can eat in moderation next month.

There are three meals this week: Thanksgiving, Hanukkah, and leftovers.

Get Thanksgiving on a bun at DMK, hear who's in at the Peninsula, and more tidbits.

Steak, Chinese food, and nostalgia in equal measure at Next next year.

Pig out at Tavernita's, stock up on cheesecake, see some intimate ox cheek footage at a food film festival, and more.

In other city dining news, Lone Wolf is opening in West Town, Sprout is closing, and the Field Museum is serving beer inspired by dinosaurs.

Want someone else to cook this year? Go out for dinner, have brunch, or pick up a prepared feast—just make reservations now.

Gorge on guac, pork, gumbo, and more.
