Friendsgiving is a relatively new holiday, where friends get together in November for a special meal. Especially this year, it’s not just an excuse to try new recipes. Loneliness is an epidemic in the US, according to the Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy. The remedy for growing social disconnection and its negative health effects—gathering together. Here at WUGA, we decided to do just that. So, pull up a chair at our Friendsgiving table and learn what our morning hosts, Aimee Marcoux and Sean Polite, think about camaraderie and food.
