Must-Have Broome County Side Dishes for Your Thanksgiving Table

Thanksgiving is only a day away and this is definitely the time of year when we think about gathering traditional family recipes and preparing delicious dishes to share with loved ones.

However, this year, we decided to explore a different approach by asking Broome County residents to share with us their favorite side dishes from local restaurants that they love so much they would put them out on their Thanksgiving dinner table. The responses we received were varied and truly showcased the diverse culinary offerings of our area.

The range of answers we received was both surprising and, in some cases, made us chuckle. From classic comfort foods to unique, unexpected choices, it was clear that Broome County residents take their side dishes seriously. Some mentioned simple yet irresistible options like rolls and cinnamon butter, a staple that adds a touch of sweetness to any meal. Others shared their love for enchiladas, bringing a Tex-Mex twist to the traditional Thanksgiving spread. The mention of garlic knots also made an appearance, highlighting the local love for Italian cuisine and carb-loaded delights.

What stood out the most from the responses was the deep connection that residents felt towards their favorite side dishes from local restaurants. These dishes were not just about flavor – they represented memories, traditions, and a sense of community that made them special enough to be included in the most cherished meal of the year.
