Andrew Zimmern is being a Scrooge about Christmas, but it's not what you think ... he's just a big fan of Thanksgiving, and thinks the holiday is getting the short end of the wishbone.
00:00so how are you how are you doing today I'm doing great awesome so Thanksgiving is around the corner
00:07sure so do you think Thanksgiving needs it's time to breathe you know because we got all
00:13these Christmas stuff you know it's awful it's awful I saw a Halloween stuff being advertised
00:18in August before Halloween I saw Thanksgiving stuff and Christmas stuff being advertised so
00:25I think here's the deal it should be some kind of civic responsibility we take on ourselves to let
00:33holidays only be promoted one at a time so once we get past Labor Day you want to do Halloween
00:39fantastic but you can't do Thanksgiving until Halloween is over and you can't do Christmas
00:44until Thanksgiving is over I mean let's segment yeah so like I went to Starbucks today and yeah
00:50they had they had this Christmas stuff already out and I was like wait a minute like and I think
00:55they're also preparing for the tree at Rockefeller Center everything everything is a July 4th
00:59decorations are going up everywhere yeah that was a joke yeah so the other thing I wanted to ask you
01:05so what is your favorite Thanksgiving meal you know I'm a classicist so it's it's the turkey it's the
01:11stuffing I try to do as many sides as possible I always try to do a whole fish as well for those
01:18that aren't necessarily into turkey I'm in town promoting my new book the blue food cookbook so
01:24I think this year is either going to be striped bass or a whole salmon not sure which nice what is the
01:30ultimate Thanksgiving dessert oh my god ultimate Thanksgiving dessert I'm going to go pecan pumpkin pie
01:38and yes you can double them up you make the pumpkin pie you put it in the oven you let it set for about 15 out of the 45 minutes that it's supposed to cook and then you put the filling from a pecan pie on top of it just about a half inch deep heaven awesome so final verdict we need Thanksgiving to have its own moment no Thanksgiving deserves its own moment it's a holiday centered around food with no gifts Thanksgiving is very very important
