In my search for Thanksgiving takeout, I found plenty of Philly restaurants serving up no-pressure feasts. If you’re unprepared for holiday cooking, look no further. I have my eye on a number of things: The almond wood-smoked turkey breast with foie gras gravy at Forsythia, the buttermilk herb biscuits and brioche stuffing at Talula’s Table, maple harissa carrots at Miles Table, truffle-scented wild mushroom soup and baked Normandy brie en croute from Di Bruno Bros. ... The list goes on.
Of course, you can’t forget dessert — there are pies galore. But act fast and get your orders in now — many eateries have deadlines so they can order, prep, cook, and pack your meal in time for the year’s biggest food holiday.
