I would hope only on the mashed potatoes. Gravy on steak just seems so wrong.

We were at Costco today and ended up buying their chicken street taco kit (marinated roast chicken, shredded cheese, cabbage, lines, avocado crema, salsa and 12 corn tortillas for $12.99). Really tasty for a meal kit that requires almost no effort (microwaved the chicken for 3 minutes and half the tortillas for 1.5 minutes, but we have a weak microwave).

Did you know that Costco sells 60 million rotisserie chickens a year?

I had the street tacos one time when they were sampling them...really good.
I LOVE those chickens and it doesn't surprise me at all that they sell that many. You can't even buy a raw chicken for that price. And yes I know they have lots of salt...that is why they are good.

Gravy on mash is OK. Gravy on fries. Now we're talking.

Peppercorn or mushroom sauce on pub steaks. Never sauce on quality steaks.

My rules.

Gravy for both mash and fries. I had also reheated steak fries but probably forgot to mention it.

Gravy on fries is good too. Just never on steak.

I'd almost rather have gravy on steak than fries. Fries must remain 100% crispy. Anything that would cause any reduction of crispiness is taboo.

I would generally agree with this, except real, honest-to-goodness Canadian poutine is so good. That's the only time it's allowed.

I much prefer gravy on fries if it has to be used at all. Plus, there is poutine which is amazing when done correctly.

Since we bought a rotisserie chicken yesterday, I decided to do Cooking Light's chicken and corn chowder again. I swap a poblano for the bell pepper since I have a bell pepper sensitivity. And increase both the bacon (4 slices, though I may have eaten half a slice before the cooked slices went back into the soup) and the corn (by about a cup). Always great with some of Trader Joe's chili crunch oil to give it a bit of a kick.

Anyone thinking ahead to Thanksgiving leftovers? I always enjoy turkey enchiladas, though not sure what we'll have in the way of leftovers with a turducken, and if it will work for enchiladas.

Pro tip: You don't pour it over the fries, you dip the fries into the gravy. That way they stay nice and crisp.

McDonalds here sells gravy loaded fries, but I never get them because they put the gravy on the fries.

You know what else is good dipped in gravy? Trader Joes thanksgiving flavored potato chips but they ran out early this year!
