Since your day may be filled with inevitable political discourse, an aunt pestering you about why you're still single, or your abuela asking you in Spanish, "Cuando tendrás hijos?" (When will you have children?), the last thing you should have to worry about is how long to cook the damn turkey.
This is why some of the best restaurants, markets, and bakeries in Miami are making Thanksgiving dinner easier than ever with incredible takeout, full-blown meal kits, and beautiful catering options. The takeout options are so good this year that they may just fool everyone at the dinner table. (If your mother-in-law asks you, "Could you please send me the stuffing recipe?" don't look at us. This sounds like a personal problem).
From catering options like Vale Food Co. to gourmet options from spots like Graziano's and Mayfair Grill, as well as classic Miami markets like Joanna's Marketplace and Pinecrest Wayside Market, check out every spot offering delicious takeout and catering menus for Thanksgiving 2024 in Miami.
