On Thanksgiving, what's better than stuffing? Nothing. Nothing is better than stuffing. It's the best. But what if it was truly perfected? We believe that perfect stuffing could lead to world peace.

Claire Saffitz and Brad Leone know that after turkey and stuffing, a Thanksgiving meal is judged on its pies.

Brad, Claire, Rick, Carla, Andy, Chris, Molly and Christina have striven over the last few weeks to create the perfect component parts of a Thanksgiving dinner: turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauce, sides, pie. Now they're here to bring it all together in the finale and make a (mostly) absolutely perfect Thanksgiving meal.
