The Thanksgiving Disaster Variety Show

We hear from food writer and soon-to-be cookbook author Eric Kim, Los Angeles Times cooking columnist Ben Mims, and from you (!), our community, about ghosts of Thanksgivings past.

Referenced in this episode:

• Why You Should Make a Turducken (Even if You Don't Want to Eat it by the End) (Food52)

Special thanks to listeners Sarah Copeland, Melissa Dain, and Myo Quinn for sharing their stories. We'll be back next week with a genius recipe; if you come across one in your holiday prep, I'd love to hear about it at genius@food52.com.
