We love that more and more people have gotten on board with the idea that Thanksgiving doesn\u2019t have to mean spending all day in the kitchen. It\u2019s sometimes easier to enjoy a meal (especially a holiday meal) with the family when the work part is taken out of the equation. There\u2019s usually less bickering, too. I\u2019m looking at you, Dad.<\/p>\n

So, on that note, we\u2019ve rounded up some of our favorite local dining concepts doing the hard work for you this year. From a feast atop the Reunion Tower to a different kind of Turkey Day at a brand-new Michelin-recognized Indian spot, these are our top Dallas restaurants for Thanksgiving brunch or dinner.<\/p>\n
