How does a James Beard award winner spend her Thanksgiving?  Traveling of course.

Chef Andrea Reusing is a rising star in the culinary world and she’s conquering it from her restaurant located in Chapel Hill, North Carolina-- a college town known more for being the home of the University of North Carolina Tar Heels than for its culinary delights.

"The ease, affordability and delicious results of outdoor holiday cooking methods are becoming more popular each year," said Leslie Wheeler with the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association.   "Even though temperatures may be cooling down outside, outdoor cooking remains a popular tradition because it frees up oven space and can cut down on cooking time, allowing more to be spent with family on Thanksgiving, or any special occasion."

Home cooks can get stuck in a rut when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner thanks in part to the holiday being one so steeped in tradition.

Everyone at the dinner table has his or her own opinions, favorite recipes and expectations-- all adding pressure on the home cook.  This pressure can even manifest into guilt if the home cook tries to put his or her own twist on the meal.  Let's be honest, nobody wants to upstage grandma's recipes.

As Muslims around the world begin to celebrate the festival of Eid al-Adha, people in Gaza are heading underground to bring in one of the key items needed to properly celebrate the annual "Feast of Sacrifice."
