Ventura Restaurants Open on Thanksgiving Day

Thanksgiving is around the corner, which means two things:

1. We will all take a quiet moment to reflect on all the things we’re grateful for.

2. Someone is sweating over Thanksgiving dinner.

The tradition of a Thanksgiving feast originally meant friends and family gathering together to prepare the meal together, though the number of helping hands dwindled until, basically, it was just your mom.

If you’re not a mom, this evolution might not strike you as unfair. It’s possible it might not have struck you at all. But if you are a mom, you might be looking for a respite.

And if you’re wondering where you can go out to eat on Thanksgiving Day, you’re in luck. Happily, Ventura offers a bountiful feast of Thanksgiving opportunities for those of us who don’t want to spend the day cooking in the kitchen.

But, with all due respect, Thanksgiving doesn’t have to be traditional.
