Let's talk turkey. Or not. Maybe you don't eat meat. Maybe you find turkey too bland to bother with. Maybe the bird inspires a Proustian fugue state in which you weep for the Thanksgiving feasts of your long-dead meemaw. Whatever the reason, Thanksgiving is the season.
That means you probably have questions. Which is great! Because whether you're hosting or attending a Thanksgiving dinner, we want to answer them.
We're gearing up for our annual Thanksgiving episode, where Good Food host and one-woman cooking juggernaut Evan Kleiman answers all your cooking questions and tries to solve your thorniest Thanksgiving dilemmas.

Ask Us Anything… about Thanksgiving. Evan — along with her special guest, Nik Sharma, author of Veg-Table, The Flavor Equation and Season — will do their best to answer them. We'll also have a couple more quests helping us answer questions about desserts, drinks, hospitality, etc.
You can also email us your queries at goodfood@kcrw.org OR slide into our Instagram DMs @kcrwgoodfood. We'll answer as many questions as we can. Some may end up in our Thanksgiving episode, some may end up in a video, and some may end up online. Ask away!
