3 Pro Cooks Make Thanksgiving for Under $100 | NYT Cooking 

Priya’s mom not trusting her cooking when she’s literally a NYT food editor is the most Mom at Thanksgiving thing ever.

Vaughn thinking out loud about how everything is expensive at the grocery store is so relatable.

Vaughn having a full nervous breakdown over apples is a mood

Vaughn using Claire's pie dough recipe makes me so happy.

Priya: responsible mom Eric: the calm and collected middle child Vaughn: the fun auntie

Priya out here reminding everyone it’s a colonialist holiday celebrating a genocide, on a NYT video nonetheless. I love iiiiiit!

An underrated part that I loved so much about this was showing the entertaining/dining situation-Priya and Vaughn eating with their guests on the couch and around the coffee table, rather than a large dining table with matching chairs and all. Plus, Eric and his friends eating at small nook at his place. As someone who lives in a small apartment in a large, expensive city, this really resonated with me! It’s refreshing to show that this is the norm for many (especially when you watch so many videos with large kitchens and all), and folks in food media who’ve built a large following have similar entertaining experiences!

Priya’s mom only letting her make the cranberry sauce is hilarious. Also, Eric’s kitchen is v v nice!

Major props to the editing team! The way this was edited was so freaking funny

Love how Pryia works for NYT but her mom won’t let her cook a family Thanksgiving dish!😅😅😅

The more chaotic and messy Vaughn gets, the harder I fall in love

I love all three thought process in the supermarket - from distracting, logical and overthinking, it no wonder NYT cooking is my fave.

Eric invited Rick Martinez !!!! Priya's mom-daughter tension is yummy. Vaughn's phone call with Dad (?) is just pie.

the only thing missing was a next day leftover special with them gathering all the dishes and discussing them

Vaughn's presentation of the canned cranberry sauce got me SHOOK! I cannot believe that man turned that little can of Oceanspray cranberry sauce into an elevated art form with his garnishes and the way he cut it. It almost looks like a Caprese salad with the different slices. I am going to steal that trick of his...

Just a huge round of applause to everyone involved - this must have taken so much work!

You know where YOU stand...when your OWN mom says" help your hubby/my son make the pies"...oooh the burn..can smell it from out here....

This was funny getting to see the different energies from all of them

I almost skipped this because I'm tired of Thanksgiving videos, but I was lured in by the irresistable trio of Eric, Priya, and Vaughn. And I'm so glad I was because, props to NYT, this is the best T-giving cooking video ever! The way it was edited made it soooo hilarious and entertaining!

I want to eat Vaughn's thanksgiving out of everyone. So much cozy home vibes and indulgence.

They all make it look so much easier than it is. Everything looked amazing! Also, yay for Rick's guest appearance!

Wow, everyone did so well! Priya & Eric are so on the ball! Vaugh spent too much time with his dessert, am so surprised he got everything together - full meal. Was so happy to see Rick - Eric's surprised guest. For a girl living in Asia, I loved the diversity of X'mas meal interpretation. ❤

This was wonderful. I would happily have eaten anybody's food, but Vaughan's looked the most Thanksgivingish...plus pies! All props to Priya for going to Patel Bros. instead of Wegman's. You do not shop at Wegman's on a budget. Eric's love of bechamel and his cassoulet looked so fab, that I'm actually going to make cassoulet for dinner tonight

"My thanksgiving would be like if Norman Rockwell did, like, a TON of acid." Iconic

Priya going on the tangent about being left handed made my day

Vaughn is a mood 😂

the energy of these 3 is so on point and their meals looked so delicious.

Iconic reaction to Eric saying he’s not making mac&cheese 😂

OMG ! Come on .... This was so so so fun to watch ! I mean Vaughn, Priya & Eric in the same video & challenge ?!? And as usual, Vaughn makes everything 50x funnier ! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Vibing with Eric. Usually just have thanksgiving with my SO. It’s a chill time. I don’t care for corn (at all, but I will make it for others) and I will avoid celery unless I have to

I did my thanksgiving shopping today and only spent $92 :). My grocery store had a deal if you spent 50, your turkey only cost 7.59.

This is why we need more bulk stores where people can come with their own bags to fill w exactly how much they need! For the holidays especially when ur only gonna use an ingredient for one recipe. And it's cheaper to not have to pay for packaging

People are giving them too much “oh my god they spent too much” comments. Firstly: especially with Priya’s spice requirements- Patel Bros sells them per oz unit cheap, but in larger bags- that’s where she might had purchased more than needed for the meal, but her food portion was modest. She already mentioned multiple times “do they come in smaller bags.” I call it “video planning mistake.” We all have some amount of spices in the pantry- if they didn’t have that constraint, any of them could had more rooms in their budget. Vaghn actually hit that target pretty okay with 2 chickens on the table, because his purchase-to-product ratio was the highest. His was also closer to what most people experienced in their thanksgiving shopping. Let’s face it: only those who were tasked to cook often always would know budgeting is part of the process. I am thinking maybe they wanted to show to those who are a bit unfamiliar with handling it by themselves? Anyways, as a normal home cook, I am still happy seeing this video. Any experience shared are things learned. ❤

I thought this was beautifully done. Can we get more chefs-preparing-holiday-meals-for-friends-under-a-budget content?

Family traditional Thanksgiving meal growing up - Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, cranberry relish, some kind of salad, and pumpkin pies using the Fannie Farmer recipe. Now that I'm an adult this is still my go to holiday meal for Thanksgiving and sometimes Christmas. IT can easily be made for under $100. Stuffing can be made by toasting a $1 loaf of white bread and cubing it, carrots celery onions can all be bought for about $2 each per pound. Chicken stock in the box is $1.50 (will need 2 for the entire meal) 1 lb of butter is around $3. Frozen chopped spinach is $1.25 per square - buy 2. If you really dont have flour in your house then spend $2 on a small bag of it. Raw cranberries are around $3, turkey will cost around $25 - 30 if you get a 10-12 pounder. Canned Pumpkin is $2 per large can....You get the idea. Use things already in your home to save a buck

Priya is so stunning and so talented. And shoutout to calling thanksgiving what it is.

Best part was Eric's sweet little dog being a part of the day and not stuck in another room with the door closed. Good daddy!

Vaughn’s menu wins for me because he had more than one dessert and I can also go for Brussels sprouts and mashed potatoes at a holiday party. No matter the main protein, the menu with mashed potatoes makes my starch loving heart happy.

I love these types of videos, cozy, chill but also I learn something new to try in my kitchen!

"just 'cause i wanted to say cranberry pamplemousse" LOL

the grocery store expeditions alone are prime viewing.

That’s so funny! I was so stressed watching her chop left-handed, and then she mentioned it 😆

Loved the editing. Loved everyone's energy. Loved this entire episode so freaking much. So many funny and/or HQ moments

That was joyous to watch, love the editing and multitude of recipes from each cook!

Priya's Mom is all, "Watery squash? Hmm!" Kidding! Her meal looked amazing. All three looked amazing, in totally different ways! Happy Thanksgiving!!

I like the woman who responds to the “Should I make Mac & cheese?” question!

OMG Eric is my spirit twin. I go through the market like he does.

Wonderful! Many thanks to all of you! Happy Thanksgiving! Eric. That apartment!!!

eric's oooh! comment is just so lovely, that's so me everytime i do my grocery...like i need to look for something then something catches my attention hahaha

"I need nuts. I need nuts. I need more than just Deez Nuts!” Von is a poet too 😂

I want an invite to Eric Kim's Thanksgiving .....STAT!!!!!! He's so mellow, cool, calm, and collected.....He's nothing fancy but is everything to cool minds....

This vid is getting me excited for the Sohla/Priya gingerbread house tradition

The Vaughn edit at the grocery store alone makes the video, his anxiety was my anxiety.

😂mannnn. They're working that $100😂😂😂 Im impressed!🤷🏾‍♀️

We need the cheese puff recipe!

I love this series! Great food, great personalities!

Great editing! I would love to see Sohla do this challenge next year.

Rick Martínez is definitely THE special guest 💜

i think all of them looked successful - a great meal with good friends, so beautiful 💗

I really loved this episode. Especially loved that they cooked in their own apartments. I have a small kitchen and they just inspired me so much!

This is an iconic thanksgiving trio and was so fun to watch!

this was so fun i need more episodes with these three!!!

I love the chefs and their humor, the editing, and the MUSIC! This is so fun!

This was so fun to watch! Happy Thanksgiving all!

They all did so amazing! & everyone’s dinner looked like a success! ☺️ The grocery store shopping was really fun, too! 😂

What a fun idea. GREAT video. Thanks everyone!

I so felt this, "I hate this food processor-- it's the bane of my existence", whilst reaching down in the cupboards to retrieve it!

Really enjoyed this! I love the 3-in-1 format so much!

Eric is sooooo adoooooooraaaaaable! I wanna hug him. Lol!

I’m nominating the apple scene for an Oscar

this was so great - props to the whole team!!!

like how happy all three were at the cashier (shopping for groceries) when they came under budget or the way they devised substitutes (and what were splurge items) for their recipies... lol lol

Recipes??? ALL theses dishes look great! great job guys!

This was such a cool video!!! Loved the aspect of a budget and 3 different people doing different recipes and takes on the same seasonal meal..

I love Vaughn omg, “where does one source a cart?”

That was such a lovely video!

The Jennifer Coolidge/Owen Wilson impression was so good lmfao

Best line of the video: “chips are being decanted”

This is right up there with my all time favorite of NYT Cooking vids - cookies with Susan Spungen.

Loved this for during my Thanksgiving prep!

I love how everything cooked dishes with their own flare ❤

The shopping was such a contrast, so fun to see!

Really appreciate Priya, Vaughn and Eric sharing their homes and family traditions with us not to mention all the work involved in this challenge. Loved that they were so real during the process...forgetting things, cursing, stuff falling out of the frig, their humor, etc. Really enjoyed their shopping process, too. All the food looked so delicious! While I love the food, weather and long weekend of Thanksgiving I agree with Priya's assessment of the holiday. We need to re-name, re-claim, re-purpose etc this holiday. I appreciate the diversity represented in the video. The video was so well edited and so enjoyable! I would have happily watched a much longer version.

I love how much they love about each other and can predict that the others are doing

not even 2 minutes and i'm already "i love Priya"

I enjoyed this! I hope we get one for Christmas too.

Just calculated Vaughn’s dinner with our average local prices (Lidl, Rewe). I would have to spend about 55€. US food prices are crazy and here people are complaining. The most expensive part would be the chicken, 17.70€ for both - about 2 kg chicken. 2$ for an apple, are they layered with gold leaves?

Loved this video!

oh all of them are iconic and i will def incorporate some of these recipes this year!!! vaughn💖💖💖

This was so wonderful! I watched it twice.... Also- love seeing Rick

I could watch these three shop in a grocery store all day.

Priya's comment about righties seeing lefties chop is so accurate 😂 My mom never fails to comment on me using my left hand to chop or use chopsticks.

That all of Priya's spices don't count towards pantry ingredients and then Vaughn and Eric don't buy a single dry spice really shows you the difference in the cuisine styles. I would say all the spices should count as pantry...

All three ended with beautiful results

I’m really feelin Vaughns dishes!! I want to be at his dinner.

I want to eat at Vaughn's!!! And Priay with her mom - I feel ya girl hahah. Just go with it and enjoy the evening!

gorgeous, hillarious video

Rick Martinez never disappoints with his always amazing shirts!! Really fun video too!

I couldn’t be friends with Eric. That nonchalant chaotic energy would drive me up the wall! 😅

Loved this!!!
