If your family is as quirky (read: dysfunctional) as ours, you've probably got enough Thanksgiving anxiety without getting into cooking a turkey with all the trimmings, setting a sparkling table, being a good host and not burning the house down. If you're looking for a stress-free Turkey Day this year, we suggest letting the professionals handle it. Check out our slacker's guide to Thanksgiving for our roundup of places that'll do the dirty work for you—whether you choose to dine out, pick up or blow off the traditional turkey dinner. And don't worry: We've got budget-friendly options too.
Also in Metromix this week, we get some grammar (and romance) advice from Sandra Bernhard, explore Aussie fashion in L.A., track down some places to drink your Thanksgiving dinner, and step right up to Of Montreal's psychedelic indie-rock circus. Find all this plus new installments of Local Positioning, Hot & Bothered, and "The Ninja Diaries" in the free print edition of Metromix (available all over L.A.) and here on metromix.com.
