To celebrate this winning combination of pumpkin and turkey and latkes and gelt, Food 52 challenged Serious Eats to a friendly competition: Which community could come up with the biggest, boldest, Thanksgivukkah dish?
After much head scratching, mixing, tasting and salivating, these are the two final contenders:
