Friday Donuts (on a Thursday): Thanksgiving Side Dish Tournament
wesgoldberg.substack.com
🍩 I’m stealing this bracket of the best Thanksgiving side dishes from the Today Show, but here it goes.
ROUND 1
Mashed potatoes over sweet potato casserole, but it’s a nail-biter and mashed potatoes don’t cover.
Stuffing over cornbread.
Mac & cheese over creamed corn, a blowout.
Green bean casserole over roasted squash. Roasted squash is the side dish that ESPN analysts wonder how they even got into the tournament with no signature wins. I can almost hear Stephen A. screaming “SQUASH?! SQUASH?! PREPOSTEROUS. NOBODY WANTS TO EAT SQUASH WITH FOOTBALL.”
Creamed spinach over glazed carrots in an upset.
Cranberry sauce keeps it moving over candied yams.
Collard greens over brussels sprouts. You’re welcome, Granny.
Rolls > biscuits
ROUND 2
Stuffing over Mash. Pot.
Gimme the GBC over the M&C. Do we have a Cinderella?
Cranberry > Creamed spinach
Rolls > collards (collards got the tough bracket.)
ROUND 3
Stuffing over GBC. ONIONS!
Rolls make it to the Finals.
FINALS
Stuffing wins. Why? Because with the exception of cranberry sauce it’s the only one you eat only on Thanksgiving. Seriously, have you ever been at a restaurant and seen someone eating stuffing in July? If you do, call the police, because that person is a serial killer.
