"The flavor was on point. The texture was like nope. It really had the wheels turning to guess like what that next bite was going to consist of." - Erin

Uh oh, guys. Bob is learning to edit the podcast. This episode is the first-ever "clip show" for the See Food Diet podcast!

Take a walk down memory lane to Thanksgiving 2024 when pilgrims were pilgrims, turkeys were turkeys, and Matt hated it.

This episode offers a hilarious, high-stress, and highly relatable look at holiday eating, making it perfect for online promotion as it features specific "hot takes" and family drama.

This episode is packed with controversial food opinions and holiday anxiety that every listener can relate to.

Tune in to hear:

• Matt's Shocking Admission: Why he "hate[s] Thanksgiving food" and why his dream holiday meal is just a KFC value meal.
• The Anxiety of Perfection: Kate confesses that holidays make her feel "extremely anxious" due to her perfectionism, particularly when preparing her signature deviled eggs.
• High-Stakes Cooking: Bob details his elaborate plans, including brining a turkey using a new cheesecloth and butter roasting technique and attempting to make multiple experimental cheesecakes (including fig and goat cheese, and a potentially risky pecan pie filling flavor).
• Family Roast Session: The episode culminates in the highly anticipated "Leftover Lunch" where family members (Brandi, Tammy, Erin, Hannah, J.R., and more) gather to share their successful dishes (like Brandi's "whole stick of butter" casserole and Tammy's homemade pumpkin pie)—and, more importantly, publicly critique the worst food they ate.
• Food Failures Revealed: Hear the definitive description of a mashed potato disaster that resulted in "wallpaper paste", and the deep disappointment of thick, chunky side dishes .
• Vegetarian Struggles: Hannah highlights the lack of viable vegetarian options at the traditional family dinner, forcing her to rely on mashed potatoes and green bean casserole.

The perfect listen for anyone who loves holiday food... or just loves complaining about it! Find us on social media using our motto: "See Food Diet. If you see food, eat it."

This clip show features one of my favorite interactions. When asked what he brought for Thanksgiving a child says, "What I made for Thanksgiving is I made my family happy. And I think that turned out very well." To which a grown adult responds, "That's what somebody who doesn't bring anything says."
