Thanksgiving is a special time where friends and family gather around the table to give thanks and enjoy a traditional feast. Many dishes served are nostalgic, made with the same love and ingredients that you enjoyed as a child. While we all may have the same tradition of gathering for dinner, what’s served might not look the same on every table. Several Collierville locals have shared their favorite traditional dishes with TourCollierville and now we’re sharing them with you! Happy Eating!
