SUMMARY: Coastal cuisine is often associated with dishes like gumbo, jambalaya, and fried seafood platters, but the fried oyster po-boy stands out as a favorite for many. A “dressed and pressed” po-boy includes tomatoes, pickles, and lettuce, with the sandwich compacted and warmed. While fried shrimp po-boys are the most popular, options like fried oysters and pot roast beef po-boys are also beloved. The po-boy tradition has deep roots, dating back centuries, with local lore highlighting its origins during a New Orleans streetcar strike. Notable spots to try po-boys include Desporte’s and Po-Boy Express. Enjoy!

SUMMARY: For Thanksgiving, side dishes need to offer both healthful options and comforting favorites. While cornbread dressing is a staple in many households, it is not required for mine, often being replaced by mashed potatoes. I make a make-ahead mashed potato dish that can be stored for up to a week, making it perfect for large gatherings.

May your Thanksgiving be full of blessings, whether it’s with dressing, potatoes, or mac-n-cheese.
