No two Thanksgiving dinner tables look the same, and people are pretty protective of their holiday favorites. Some people need to have biscuits, some people can’t abide casseroles, and so on. Everybody believes that their way of making Thanksgiving dinner is the right way, and that’s why this “Thanksgiving Mac and Cheese” video from Food Network’s The Kitchenย drew so much controversy a few years back. Katie Lee and Nancy Fuller’s recipe didn’t impress viewers, and on-screen personalities Valerie Bertinelli and Geoffrey Zakarian seemed equally unimpressed.

When it dropped back in 2017, Twitter (now X) erupted into arguments, tacked-on jokes, and devastating burns. Here are some notable reactions, including some stunningly well-placed gifs.
