[THANKSGIVING] What’s a stage-stealing side side dish to bring on the big day?
1Like, imagine you have an overachieving brother in law named Benjamin, who only goes by Benjamin, never Ben, but you call him Enjam just to be difficult. Let’s say this Enjam thinks he’s hot stuff for hosting thanksgiving dinner for everybody and you wanted to bring a show-stopping side dish that makes everyone gush and, if possible, also calls attention to the dry ass turkey that everyone pretends to enjoy, even though it’s only halfway edible if you slather it in gravy.
Anything like that? Asking for a friend.

The obvious answer is a pot of turkey gravy that’s so good! It eclipses both the bird and the gravy that the host made. From a practical standpoint, you could just follow the instructions that Babish used in his most recent video.
@werehatrack ^ understood the assignment
@werehatrack It would be an epic story that would become part of family lore told for years around the campfire… The Gravy That Saved Thanksgiving
The children cheered, old women wept, and grandpa said “mmmm, that’s good.”
And Enjam didn’t speak for 5 consecutive minutes. It was glorious
You could bring a fancy-ass charcuterie board. Everyone will be too full from eating that to have turkey.
I’m Southern, so the answer for me is always a variety of differently-styled deviled eggs. OR oyster dressing/stuffing.
