What does Chef Linneman make for thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Just food and family.

My Thanksgiving always starts off with oyster shooters around 4pm with family and neighbors. Chilled shot glasses are filled with a freshly shucked oyster, a squeeze of lemon juice, a dollop of spicy cocktail sauce all topped off with Finlandia vodka straight from the freezer. Yum.

Then the main course. The turkey is rubbed with cajun seasoning and deep fried. The only way to go in my book. Accompaniments include: homemade cranberry chutney, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy and turnips. My mom always brings her delicious waldorf salad.
