Yes, just as most American families besides the Clintons and Bushes can’t come to a unanimous decision on a presidential candidate, every clan squabbles over what to cook, and how to cook it. Cousin Emily wants a turkey-shaped tofu lump roasted for hours at 275°. Cousin Scott doesn’t understand why a nice trophy salmon can’t sit center-table among a bed of kale. Grandma Rose feels similarly, except she’d replace the fish with a handle of Bombay Sapphire and a jar of olives. While we all have our own personal tastes, professionally-speaking, we endorse only one option: Flame-broiling a Butterball via Lamborghini Aventador LP-760. Here, the “chef,” may he be so called, uses a pitchford to piece the turkey’s breast and suspend the bird just aft of the Lambo’s fat central exhaust. That looks right. Potatoes, greens, stuffing—all are immaterial with a supercar around. Folks might complain about the hydrocarbon shellacking their drumstick. You can call that Italian Seasoning. https://youtube.com/embed/Q0b5AzTD5p4 ## Author Ben Keeshin is a former staff writer for Maxim, and before that, contributed writing to the digital sides of Road & Track and Vanity Fair. ### Author social links [Twitter]()
