2025 Annual "Sound of Ideas" Friendsgiving
With Thanksgiving just days away, people may be in the midst of gathering ingredients to pull together that perfect holiday feast.
But what happens when the people around the dinner table can't eat the traditional dishes?
Monday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll host our annual "Friendsgiving" show where we invite Northeast Ohio chefs to share food, cooking advice and Thanksgiving memories with us.
This year, we're focusing on dishes that can be enjoyed by everyone, including vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free and nut-free options.
We've asked four Northeast Ohio chefs to share their inclusive dishes they've created and offer Thanksgiving cooking wisdom for home cooks.
They'll also reflect on their personal journeys with plant-based living and share how they're navigating a changing restaurant landscape.
Here's what the Northeast Ohio chefs prepared this year:
Porscha Phillips (side):
- Braised Greens with Smoked Jackfruit
Adam Schwieterman (side):
