petrea_mitchell1. Dork Tower examines the tradeoffs of Thanksgiving meals this year. I was looking to support a local restaurant, but couldn't find one offering a take-home turkey meal that didn't include a green bean casserole.
2. FiveThirtyEight on regional variations in Thanksgiving dinners. The Thanksgiving dinners of my childhood were definitely shaped by the previous two generations of my family all being from New England.
