Where to eat out in Wichita on Christmas Day 2020, plus who’s serving holiday meals to go
Another COVID-19 holiday, another list of restaurants open and ready to serve.
But just like at Thanksgiving, this year’s list of Wichita restaurants open on Christmas Day that looks unlike any that’s come before it.
It includes a whole lot of places serving take-and-bake meals that can be picked up in the days leading up to Christmas. In past years, only a few barbecue places offered such an option. (Order soon, though. Deadlines are approaching.)
There are also lots of Asian restaurants open this year, though many of them are offering only carryout service.
Here’s this year’s list of where to eat out for Christmas. If there’s anyone I’ve missed, please let me know by emailing dneil@wichitaeagle.com
