About Tastebud
Chris and Camri McAvoy started Tastebud Chicago as a way for them to keep track of the wines and cheeses that they love to eat and drink. Its grown to cover all aspects of cooking and eating. We're not professional chefs, we just really like to cook.
We typically add content once a week, usually on Saturday morning.

Happy Thanksgiving!
A 1908 Thanksgiving card we picked up at an antique store, from an era when people weren't afraid to know where their meat came from.
We have an awful lot to be thankful for this year. Thanks to you for continuing to read our site, and for writing us with your ideas. All our cooking plans are in place for the big day tomorrow, we're going to try two new things, cooking the turkey on the grill, and making our own pie crust from scratch. The turkey is going to get a heavy dose of hickory smoke, with some sage, thyme, rosemary and chopped apples for cavity aromatics. Our pie crust is going to wrap itself around a pecan pie. Camri has a big list of side dishes, including buttermilk mashed potatoes, french bean salad, and glazed carrots with cider. Should be a great meal.
Hope you and yours have a great turkey day!
