All Star Celebrity Chef Thanksgiving
AARON MCCARGO, JR.
“When it comes to Thanksgiving, I used to watch my mother prepare it a lot as a kid. I would seeher method and I always liked the flavors she'd use. As I got older I'd continue to watch her andthink ‘I could make this easier, or simpler, or maybe if I try this or that.’ A lot of parents orgrandparents don't want to take that risk, and with me being who I am, I took the risk of changing itup a little bit. It seems to work for everybody in the family.”-- AARON MCCARGO, JR. of
