Americans thrive on being rebels… But if there is one day we put aside rebellion in favor of tradition its Thanksgiving!

Here are a few quick menu tips if you are the chef this year:

Nail the basics. Your guests will expect turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, vegetables and pie for dessert. Deviation is sin.
Experiment with new sides. After you nail the basics, add different colors and textures to the table with side dishes.
Give thought to appetizers and drinks. It will impress your guests and allow more creativity than the main meal.
