Cooking Sucks! Five Thanksgiving Spots in Laguna Besides Your Kitchen

Let other people do all the work (and the dishwashing) for you this Thanksgiving ...

Check to see if some restaurants require reservations.


From 1-9 p.m., the White House will serve a Thanksgiving feast with turkey, Honey Baked ham, char-broiled salmon, mashed potatoes, green beans, stuffing, and candied yams. For dessert, they'll have pumpkin pie with whipped cream. Prices range from $16.95 for adults to $12.95 for children. 949-494-8088.


If the turkey in the oven didn’t go as planned and you just want to call in for pizza, then the Pizza Lounge is a definite bet. This year, the Lounge will be taking in the holiday spirits and creating a festive gourmet pizza topped with chicken or turkey, cranberries, and a sauce-based cheese. A whole pie of this recipe will run you $19.95, or $4.95 per slice. And to thirst one’s holiday quench, they are also serving a pumpkin-based beverage and a cranberry-apple drink. 949-497-2277.
