For most people, the Thanksgiving Day meal is a tradition, but that doesn't mean everybody is eating at home and there are many places to go in Grand Junction to enjoy a meal on Thanksgiving.

People Really Do Go Out On Thanksgiving

I used to think people were crazy were going out for Thanksgiving Meal, but in recent years I've completely changed my way of thinking. I've become one of them. As much as might enjoy a traditional Thanksgiving meal - minus the stuffing, green bean casserole, and cranberries - there's something to be said for going out.

Thanksgiving Is Hard Work

Preparing a Thanksgiving Day meal is no simple chore. It's hard work, it's time-consuming, and that says nothing about the clean-up before and after the meal. I am in complete understanding of anyone who would rather not spend an entire day in the kitchen doing all of that cooking, baking, serving, and cleaning up. I know some may really enjoy the challenge of creating a fantastic meal for their family, but not everyone feels the same way.
