Description

Lionel and his crew engage in an animated discussion about traditional and non-traditional holiday meals and related customs, covering everything from the logistics of hosting to favorite side dishes like green bean casserole. Major topics of debate include the highly regional phenomenon of the Wawa "Gobbler" sandwich, the necessity of having turkey versus alternative meats like ham or lasagna, and the dangerous process of deep-frying a turkey. The segment is punctuated by personal recollections, such as a crew member sharing a melancholy memory of his late father and callers reminiscing about large, loud family gatherings. The segment celebrates the nostalgia and unique food culture surrounding the holiday, even while debunking historical myths about the Pilgrims' original feast.
