This Thanksgiving, I’m off the pie. Flavor’s got nothing to do with it—butter-rich crust and sugar-laden fillings remain really, really delicious.

I like wine enough to know that whenever I’m in a wine shop—I’m the idiot.

As a Thanksgiving guest, you’re responsible for a) not being The Worst Person In The Room, and b) making something people want to eat. I can help with the latter.
