Christmas
Six franchises chosen for a room with several generations in it and half your attention on the food.
6 picks
The Christmas problem is not finding something good. It is finding something that works with your family in the room, your attention half on the food, and someone arriving in an hour.
These are picked for that, not for quality alone. Nothing here punishes you for missing ten minutes.
