A great Thanksgiving plate lives and dies by the sides, and we set out to crown the true essentials. Mac and cheese took the top spot without a whisper of doubt—but only baked, with a real custard and a golden top. Dressing followed closely because it’s not a garnish, it’s tradition: cornbread-based, savory, cohesive. Then came greens that show who can really cook, and yams that play sweet harmony with everything else on the plate. From there we wrestled over deviled eggs, cornbread, mashed potatoes, green beans, corn any way, and broccoli casserole to assemble a Top 10 that actually reflects how our families eat.
Once the plates were set, we got strategic: do you fast before the feast or eat a small breakfast to avoid tapping out by 3 p.m.? How many days should leftovers last before you pivot to pizza or Chinese? And what’s the real Thanksgiving start time—post-game one or classic 6 p.m. dinner? These small choices shape a big day, and everyone has a rule they’ll defend to the last slice of pie.
We dug into the Draymond Green debate: system player or indispensable winning piece? Rings, defense, passing, and fit matter, and we compared him to Kenyon Martin to unpack what “better” truly means—talent vs impact, stats vs championships. Off the court, the Summer Walker “Pizza Hut” audio leak raised messy questions about privacy, clout, and whether a “side” can live in the spotlight without paying a price. The theme running through it all: context is king—on your plate, on a team, and online.
