Thanksgiving 2.0

Click to Listen to the Show (24 MB MP3)

Anyone who listens to public radio surely knows what Susan Stamberg is making for Thanksgiving dinner. What we want to do, the day before Thanksgiving, is air out the airwaves with some new recipes, new meals, new ways in which we can prepare our holiday bird. (The consensus around the office is that the Turduken is so

2004, the deep-fried turkey so 2003, the Tofurkey so 1976.)

Instead of turning to cookbooks and celebrity chefs we‘re going to turn to a fresher, more fertile field: the Internet. The Internet offers thousands of fantastic food blogs that range from high-end cuisine to lowbrow chow.

If you have a favorite food blogger who should be on this show, please post your suggestions. And don’t hold back on your Thanksgiving menu; share your recipes, traditions and help us define what kind of Turkey will be so 2005.
