Thanksgiving Meal Personalities
Every Table Has a Personality
Some folks want Grandma’s menu, no substitutions. Some want gumbo next to the turkey and the leftovers for game day! And some want a bird stuffed inside a bird stuffed inside a bird, just to see the look on everyone’s face.No judgment here, Cuz. Find your host type below, grab your matching feast, and let Ragin’ Cajun do the cooking.
Find Your Host Type
The Traditionalist
You like Thanksgiving the way it’s always been. Turkey, gravy, dressing, green bean casserole, pecan pie. Done and done.
Your match: the Traditional Package. A Cajun Fried Turkey, holiday gravy, dinner rolls, cornbread dressing, green bean casserole, and a Southern pecan pie.
The Bayou Believer
Your family’s idea of a side dish is a pot of gumbo. Respect, Cuz.
Your match: The Cajun Package. A Cajun Fried Turkey and holiday gravy with cornbread, sweet potato soufflé, dirty rice, seafood gumbo with rice, and bread pudding with rum sauce.
The Overachiever
You want every dish on the table and leftovers through Sunday.
Your match: the Deluxe Package. Turkey, gravy and rolls, plus a Mandola Caesar salad, cornbread dressing, mashed potatoes, jambalaya, red beans and rice, peach cobbler and pecan pie.
Every package comes in three sizes: 6-8 people, 12-15 people, or 24-30 people.
The 24-30 sizes include two turkeys, so they cover the big family reunion.
The Showoff
You live for the “wait, what is that?” moment.
Your match: the Turducken.
Turkey, duck, and chicken in one 15 lb masterpiece that feeds 20. Choose Jalapeño Cornbread or Dirty Rice stuffing.
The Small-Crew Host
It’s just a few of you this year, but you still want it to feel like a holiday.
Your match: the Turducken Roll.
All the turducken fun at a smaller size, serving 5 to 7, with the same stuffing choices.
The Bird-Only Host
You’ve got the sides handled. You just need the turkey, Cuz.
