About this episode
We're putting the finishing touches on our 2025 Thanksgiving special, but in the meantime we have a special treat: We're re-releasing our first-ever Thanksgiving episode from 2017! Reporter Sandip Roy desperately seeks turkey in Calcutta; Kenji López-Alt reveals his secrets to make-ahead mashed potatoes; Dan Pashman spins the wheel of Thanksgiving anxiety; we find out from Dr. Aaron Carroll whether tryptophan really makes us sleepy; Adam Gopnik shares the story of his first Thanksgiving in New York City; and wine expert Stephen Meuse tells us the best wines for the season.
