The annual Thanksgiving show is here a few days early! Dan welcomes Slate's food and drinks editor Laura Anderson, who brings a vegetarian perspective to the holiday. Dan discusses the Veggieducken (video here and recipe here), his new creation inspired by the turducken that's a sweet potato inside a leek inside a squash, and he and Laura debate the purpose and preparation of stuffing. Plus, a man in Kentucky calls with a Chinese buffet ethical quandary.
