Cooking Thanksgiving for just one or two this year? We have you covered. In this special holiday episode of Cooking with Brontez, Brontez Purnell joins San Francisco drag legend Juanita More in her remarkably cozy Tenderloin kitchen where the two friends share recipes for a unique and tasty bachelorette Thanksgiving spread. They kick off the meal by whetting their appetites with a refreshing Paloma cocktail - a virgin version for Brontez and a fully-loaded classic for Juanita. Then they pull out all of the stops to create an impressively towering Thanksgiving leftover turkey club sandwich, using ground turkey, bacon, cranberry mayo, arugula, and a brick of stuffing. They end the holiday on a sweet note with a no-fuss pumpkin dump cake.
