I’m Going Against the Grain This Year & Having Brisket for Thanksgiving

When you think of Thanksgiving you think of turkey. That's because turkey is Thanksgiving, it's a must have. But this year I'm changing it up with my main dish.

I had to think about this decision for a long time, should I have another main dish this Thanksgiving? I couldn't even believe this thought came to my mind, but the fact that I've never been a huge turkey fan made the decision a little easier.

I will eat the delicious bird 3 different times in one day during Thanksgiving, and that's every year. I have a turkey with my mom's family, my dad's family and my girlfriends family.

They all make the turkey different but one thing doesn't change... they are all dry!

I can't stand the dryness factor when it comes to turkey. I like greasy, messy foods. So this year I made a family decision and will be smoking a brisket.
