Long Island carnivores rejoiced when Del Frisco’s Grille Huntington, sister restaurant to popular New York City steakhouse, opened in Walt Whitman Shops this summer. Bring the sweet potato casserole, which your niece might be delighted to learn is a favorite of Taylor Swift, to the dinner table this Thanksgiving. Spiked with Jack Daniels bourbon and topped with homemade candied pecan oatmeal crumble, this cold-weather comfort food is an ideal accompaniment for traditional Thanksgiving feasts.
