REASONS WHY YOU MIGHT NEED A FAST FOOD CHAIN THIS THANKSGIVING

Cooking for Thanksgiving can be stressful and time-consuming, even for the most experienced holiday planners. Sometimes, the turkey takes much longer to cook than expected, or even worse you accidentally burn it.

It could also be as simple as not wanting to deal with the holiday day drama when all of your family gets together. You have tried time and time again but every year your family can not get along for just one meal a year. Then there is also that one Tia (aunt) who always has to comment on your weight or dating status.

Some people choose not to celebrate Thanksgiving, whether due to personal beliefs or a desire to avoid spending an entire day cooking. To be honest, if it wasn't for my mom I would fall into this category. I am not the best cook and cooking all day gives me hives just thinking about it.

Here is a list of restaurants that will be open on Thanksgiving Day in case you need to grab some quick eats!
