Thanksgiving for lazy orphans: 3 restaurants open for Turkey Day

Some of my favorite Thanksgivings have been spent with the orphans -- the random assembly of friends and co-w0rkers either too cheap or too bitter to go home for the holiday. If you're part of an orphan gang this year or, god forbid, hosting the fam, you might want to consider sticking a big fat fork in tradition and handing the food part of the equation over to the pros. While a potluck can be a lot of fun, there' s no shame in buying your way out of dealing with giblets. Here are three restaurants in the neighborhood where the doors will reportedly be open on Turkey Day (we'd call ahead ;) ). If you know of any others, feel free to add them to the list.

  1. Cascadia - 2328 1st Ave
    The swankest option of the bunch but no word if they make their hyped mini-burgers available for the feast.
  2. Cutters - 2001 Western Ave
    The most accesible of the trio so won't flip out your weird uncle. Most likely to include honest-to-gosh-regular-old-american-style-not-fancy-pants-style turkey in menu.
  3. Fish Club - 1800 Alaskan Way
    Solid middle ground. Fancy joint but location within Marriott Hotel will help everybody feel comfortable -- especially when you rent a room and wear bathrobe to dinner.
