Description: What would you serve on Thanksgiving? Mashed potatoes? Corn? Dishes such as turkey and cranberry sauce are traditional in the United States, but each holiday meal is as unique as the family serving it.
On November 22, join CO.NX for a live, online webchat with Head Chef Eric Brannon and Sous Chef Fabien Martinez of Ted’s Bulletin, a restaurant in Washington, DC. The two chefs will share tips for cooking a Thanksgiving meal and discuss some of the traditions that make Thanksgiving special for them.
