Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, a casual dining chain that's based in Southern California, offers 50s-inspired TV dinners that customers can take home and reheat for a hearty homemade meal that requires minimal effort.
Currently, Lazy Dog's TV dinners are available in seven options: Beer-battered Fish N Chips, Fried Chicken, Grilled Lemon Chicken, Cheese Enchiladas, Campfire Pit Roast, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Nuggets. The homemade meals start at $10, and each include an entre, side dish, and a dessert. All of the TV dinners are readily prepped and pre-cooked, so all customers need to do is put the tin takeout tray in the over to reheat it, and then enjoy.
