Most people have that one dish that’s a must have on the Thanksgiving table, and Mike Eli of Eli Young Band is no exception. He says, “I kind of have a ‘must list’ for Thanksgiving. Obviously, sweet potato casserole is kind of a must at our house. Green bean casserole, I’m the only one that likes it, so I make a whole entire green bean casserole dish and I’m the only one that eats it in my house. But for some reason I still make the whole dish, just in case somebody changes their mind.”
Mike’s family always has turkey at Thanksgiving, but he’s excited because he says, “I have always baked the turkeys in the oven, but the new thing is, is I’ve got one of those oil-less turkey fryers and it’s the best way to cook a turkey. I highly recommend it. That’s what I’ve been doing for the last few years and it really kind of takes a lot of the stress out of making a turkey.”
Eli Young Band will get to enjoy Thanksgiving with their families, but then they’ll have to get right back to work, promoting their latest single, “Break It In,” plus they have eight more tour shows lined up through December 21st.
