The Best Thanksgiving Side Dish: A HuffPost Deathmatch | HuffPost Life

Make a stand for your favorite recipe

|

There are times in life when you have to make difficult decisions. Usually, we don't want to be the ones to put that burden on you -- we'd rather entertain you with kittens in refrigerators -- but once a year we have to make you choose your favorite Thanksgiving side dish.

We love ALL Thanksgiving side dishes, and we're sure you do too, but this is a deathmatch and eliminations have to be made. Last year stuffing took first place at the holiday table, what's it going to be this year? Take a stand for your favorite.

Here's how the Thanksgiving side dish Deathmatch voting will go down:

Round One voting opens today (November 13th) -- vote right now!

Wednesday, November 14th at 12:00am Eastern, Round Two begins.

Thursday, November 15th at 12:00am Eastern, you'll be able to vote in Round Three.

Friday morning, November 16th, we'll announce the ultimate Thanksgiving dish.
