Turkey Day is my most favorite holiday! While I love chicken (so versatile!), beef (so delicious), and duck (so flavorful), turkey is my favorite type of meat because of the specialness I associate with it. Every year, my family has 2.5 Thanksgiving day meals... first a traditional meal (turkey! ham! stuffing! sweet potatos! brussel sprouts!) cooked by my aunt, then a Chinese-style potluck with my family friends, and finally a midnight snack of congee with leftover turkey juices and bits!

What are your Thanksgiving traditions? And what do you do with all the leftover turkey??

Thai Kitchen

Before Thai by Thai and Jumbo Jumbo... there was the Chicken Teriyaki Man!!! The Chicken Teriyaki Man owns Thai Kitchen, a truck on the campus of Carnegie Mellon University. I used to go to this truck EVERY day (some times twice a day) for 3 years, only the stupid freshmen meal plans prevented me from being a loyal customer for 4 years!

I was so excited to go back this Fall for college recruiting. After a long day of talking to a bunch of college seniors (was I really like that when I was 22?!), my coworker and I stopped by the Chicken Teriyaki Truck for dinner. I was so happy when Chicken Teriyaki Man and Mrs. Chicken Teriyaki Man recognized me after so many years of being away! They even hooked us up with a medium size entree for the price of a small!!

The trucks on CMU's campus provide some of the tastiest and cost-efficient food on campus.

Chicken Teriyaki Man and Mrs. Chicken Teriyaki Man, nicest people ever!

A lot of offerings...

But Chicken Teriyaki is the best!! I also got a side of Thai Basil, but found it a little dry
