The Publican
Paul Kahan's West Loop restaurant feels like the Midwest; big and welcoming with communal tables, it's a farmhouse and a beer hall at the same time. The menu focuses on three things: beer, pork, and oysters, but you'll also find vegetable and fish alternatives. The beer selection features brews from all over, with a fair share from Belgium and Chicago.

Publican and Publican Quality Meats have joined forces this year to create the ultimate locavore feast. A choice between roasted ham or three different all-natural, pasture-raised turkeys kicks things off, followed closely by an onslaught of tasty, home-cooked sides (think: sage maple sausage dressing, buttermilk mashed potatoes, roasted brussels, and a delicious cranberry mostarda) plus optional treats like wine and cocktail pairings, pies, homemade pimento cheese spreads, and fresh breads. They even offer brine kits to ensure your bird is as tasty as possible!
Cost: Whole turkeys start at $77 (feeds four to six); a la carte sides start at $22 (feeds two to four)
How to order: Customize your spread and schedule your pre-Thanksgiving pick-up via Tock, while supplies last.
