Every Thanksgiving we encounter the same pesky issues. We loathe guests who barge into the kitchen, disrupting our roasting and baking. We fear over-cooked turkey and burnt yams. Plus there’s that meddling uncle who asks for leftover pumpkin pie before dinner has even begun. Alas, the biggest food holiday of the year is often the most stressful.
In order to help you survive the big day, we reached out to several etiquette experts. In the video above we chatted with Myka Meier, founder of Beaumont Etiquette and The Plaza Hotel Finishing Program, and got the scoop on how to deal with all these holiday challenges and many more.
We also compiled some of the best Thanksgiving tips from, Helena Echlin, Chowhound’s former etiquette writer. She wrote the column Table Manners for six years.

So if you need help appeasing your vegetarian friends, dealing with your snobby cousins, or attending multiple feasts on the same day, you’ve come to the right place.
