A few weeks ago, to celebrate the once-in-a-lifetime superholiday known as Thanksgivukkah, we challenged Serious Eats to a friendly competition (we’ve done this before): whose community could dream up the finest Hanukkah/Thanksgiving mash-up recipe?

Brilliant and — we must say — rather gluttonous comments flew, and at the end of the week, we read through all of your ideas. Then we got really hungry. Then we crammed as many of them as we could into one delicious sandwich. 

We present to you: The Thanksgivukkah Double Down 

(If you can construct a sandwich on two pieces of fried chicken, or foie gras, or ramen, you can definitely do the same with latkes. Trust us.)

To be more specific, the Thanksgivukkah Double Down is a classic leftover turkey sandwich on turkey schmaltz-fried sweet potato latkes. Also on the sandwich: cranberry applesauce and shaved brussels sprouts, dressed in warm schmaltz-cider vinegar dressing. With a side of gravy, for dunking. Or, as Food52er Rachel Goldberger Teichman wisely framed it: “Gluten-Free Turkey Sandwich”.

And from the Serious Eats corner:

Chief Creative Officer J. Kenji López-Alt explained, “We wanted to combine the quintessential flavors of Thanksgiving — stuffing, turkey, and cranberry sauce — with the essence of Hanukkah — latkes and deep fried things. They come out of the fryer ultra-crisp with a light, puffy stuffing layer and a soft, near-liquid cranberry center that bursts in your mouth when you bite into it.”

Valiant things to celebrate, we say, and we’ll take 6 orders please.

Clearly we’re all winners here, but tell us: which would you rather eat on Thanksgivukkah?
