Thanksgiving Dishes You Can’t Live Without

What makes for a perfect Thanksgiving?

Everyone has a different idea of what they think makes a perfect Thanksgiving, but we consult the pros. With the help of the Bon Appetit test kitchen chefs, we break down what makes for the ultimate Thanksgiving celebration.

Without hesitation, all the chefs agree that their favorite holiday is Thanksgiving for one of the most obvious reasons, the food. They make a valid point that that Thanksgiving is the holiday where eating the most is all that matters, but is this true?

For some, it’s the food but for others, it’s a time to celebrate the people you love the most, your family. So if you feel like you’re not the best chef, don’t feel bad just focus on family and the rest will come together.

The ultimate goal of the test chefs for 2019 is to forget what they considered “ultimate” before and think of the next big thing while maintaining the staple dishes that everyone has grown to love. They also make a valid point that the audience won’t be happy if they leave out the core dishes that people have come to love for Thanksgiving and the importance of keeping to tradition while creating something innovative.

The test chefs draw inspiration from previous Thanksgiving editions of Bon Appetit that is helpful to see what staple dishes are a must. For more on the perfect Thanksgiving with Bon Appetit, check out the video above.
