Friendsgiving
About this episode
This episode explores the tradition of Friendsgiving, highlighting its evolution and significance over 24 years.
This episode is all about tradition, friendship, and deep-fried ingenuity. Eric talks about his legendary Friendsgiving—a gathering that’s been going strong for 24 years and shows no signs of slowing down. What started as a simple get-together has evolved into a full-blown annual ritual, complete with a perfectly fried turkey or two and the crown jewel of the table: the Coney Chonga—a deep-fried Friendsgiving masterpiece that has to be heard (and probably tasted) to be believed. We dig into how the tradition started, why it’s lasted for nearly a quarter-century, and what it means to create something consistent in a world that’s constantly changing. It’s a conversation about chosen family, shared history, and the kind of traditions that keep people coming back year after year—sometimes just to see what’s going into the fryer next. 🎧 Tune in and join the conversation at https://soapboxlex.com
