Chesapeake Thanksgiving with Chef John Hetmanski

Chef John joins us from the Seafarers International Union where he manages their culinary program. Tonight will include traditional and Chesapeake Thanksgiving selections....starting with Oyster Dressing.

Here the class gets a few pointers on oysters and where to find them.

Here is the turkey served with the frills on the turkey leg. Chris had dibs on one of the legs!

Oysters Rockefeller with a hint of Anise for a wonderful flavor!

Mini Blue Crab Cakes are shown with a nice presentation of a flavorful sauce to go with it.

Can't forget the Maryland Crab Soup, perfect for this time of year. Local crab meat is still available.

As Chris is posing with the Chef's hat (turkey frill), Mom is whispering this year, you make the dinner.

Turkey and oyster dressing, right before the gravy was added.

A good time was had by all!

Chef John will be joining us again in January with a class devoted to the "Blues" (Blue Crab that is but with a special addition...live music!).
