This Year, Houston’s Top Chefs Inspire New Thanksgiving Traditions

The question for Thanksgiving 2020 is not whether it will look like years past. Of course, it won’t. From the concept of a Zoomsgiving to the shrinking size of the bird and number of people at the table, the physical aspects of the holiday are going to be unprecedented. The more fundamental question for the most classic of American holidays is this: Do people want to hold on to tradition as much as possible? Or is this the year to throw everything out—to acknowledge that you never liked turkey—and cook up a new vision of the holiday?

To get some answers, Bloomberg Pursuits went to Houston, one of America’s most diverse cities. We asked food and drink luminaries there how they planned to celebrate this year and to explain the thinking behind it.
