Thanksgiving Feasts in Happy Valley!

You could spend this Thanksgiving chopping vegetables, preparing stuffing, and watching a turkey that will never finish cooking at just the right time, or you could pack up the family and treat yourselves to a Thanksgiving buffet or dinner. Several of our local hotspots are offering such a gorgeous spread that you’ll wonder why you haven’t dined out for Turkey Day before (and you can be thankful for the time not spent cleaning the dishes after dinner).
