Let’s be real: Thanksgiving dinner requires a lot of energy. From picking out the perfect outfit to setting the vibe with a festive playlist, there are tons of decisions to be made. Save some time and energy by letting someone else do the cooking this year. Pick up your Thanksgiving turkey, sides or desserts ready-made from one of these Baton Rouge eateries. Check their websites for holiday takeout menus and contact information—just be sure to do it soon, because many have deadlines coming up this week or early next week.
And because there are so many amazing local restaurants offering holiday catering, it’s hard to list them all. Be sure to tell us about your go-to spots in the comments.
