OK, not to stress you out, but the holidays are coming. If you outsource your holiday entrees, sides, or desserts, then this is your friendly reminder to get pre-orders in soon. Here’s a list of local places that can help lighten the load as you gather around the table with loved ones this season.
Arlo Restaurant
The dinner package at Arlo Restaurant covers everything but the bird for 4-6 people. Some of the particularly mouthwatering standouts are the chicory salad (with persimmon, citrus, and aged goat cheese), cranberry tart (with spiced apples and thyme), and the spiced cider shrub.
Sweet Hazel & Co.
For a vegan option, Sweet Hazel & Co. has everything from candied yams to roast “turkee.” She’s also selling pies by Passion Flour Patisserie — pumpkin, apple streusel, and bourbon pecan.
Tomodachi Bake Shoppe
If you arrive at your holiday function with a pie from Tomodachi Bake Shoppe, you’re sure to impress. Flavor options include beet and goat cheese, hojicha and chocolate, and miso caramel apple. They’re as beautiful as they are tasty.
