What's your favorite Thanksgiving food?
Pie is a first for me (or fresh home baked bread from scratch); turkey and gravy is a close second.

Top Chinatown Bites, Part 1
For the* best baked roast pork bun* go to Chatham Restaurant, located at 9 Chatham Sq. Their pork buns are really tasty. It's filled with copious amounts of pork and onions, and it has a salty-peppery taste from the sauce. It's not filled with excess pork fat and gelatinous sauce that is really unappealing to eat, that I find from the buns in Flushing, Queens. This place is the real deal and I'm the second generation who's eating these buns from the same spot.
Here's a few photos of the place and the bun itself:

While I love mashed potatoes, in my family it's heresy to serve it with poultry. Rice and gravy, baby!
But the *dressing* (cornbread) is probably my favorite...
Oh, and the mashed sweet potatoes get dosed with a brown sugar/butter/bourbon mixture before the mini-marshmallows go on top.

No question about it, the stuffing. Has to be homemade, with lots of onions. And slathered with homemade gravy (my mom's recipe).
Next, mashed potatoes, similarly slathered.
The turkey is only important for 2 reasons: (1) without the turkey, there wouldn't be pan drippings to serve as the base for the gravy. and (2) you need the turkey for the sandwiches for the the rest of the Thanksgiving weekend.
Pies are good, especially apple with real vanilla ice cream. But so are brownie sundaes - got to get some chocolate in there somewhere...
Happy eating, everyone!

used to be mashed potatoes, but now it's stuffing.

I'm sorry to buck your line, but I think what happens in Vegas when the result wasn't anticipated (like a rainout) is officially a "no bet" so your money is returned. Anyway, I have to vote for the post Thanksgiving massive, ridiculous Turkey sandwich. It goes something like this:
A sturdy bread to hold up to the food. either a Jewish rye or a rustic ciabatta type thing. Turkey on bottom, followed by a spoonful of gravy. Thin layers of potatoes, stuffing, sweet potatoes, a spoon or two of gravy. Cranberries next, perhaps some yam too. A spoon gravy. Top it with a nice piece of turkey skin, put the 2nd slice of bread on, and give it a nice squeeze. My preference is to microwave it, but it can be enjoyed cold. Find a glass of whatever wine was left over from yesterday, and enjoy.

the stuffing before it's been stuffed. all deelish salty savory warm mashy bread with meaty turkey broth, onions, celery, butter and seasoning. ahhggggg. i still get punished for raiding and i'm in my 30's - mom is wicked quick with that wooden spoon.

I second the sweet potatoes, and I second the marshmallows broiled on top. Really, when else can you call marshmallows part of dinner?

Thanks for the photos, Tina. Although I found the dim sum at Chatham to be hit or miss, I found that I liked the place much better when I sat up at the counter. Great atmosphere. Your photos make me want to go back and try the pork buns.
I would like to throw Congee Village into the pot here - have yet to try anything there that I didn't like. Fantastic casseroles and chicken dishes. Also, the Hong Kong fare from XO Kitchen on Hester, especially the meatball congee, enough to feed two, and any of their cheese-topped selections.
