In this week’s Seat Pocket, we talk about favorite Thanksgiving dishes, from Chantel’s mashed potatoes & lumpia combo to regional favorites across the U.S. (any green bean casserole fans out there?) (09:56)

Then we breakdown the top Thanksgiving travel destinations by vibes and trends (38:22) Not traveling this year?
