"Boston Weatherford says that everyone brings something different to the party, "whether it's a dish or, you know, somebody got to be the joke master or the storyteller.""
Family Feast! follows a multigenerational household where Big Ma and Pops begin the day by peeling fruit and dressing fish to fry. Relatives arrive and converge in the kitchen to cook, share recipes, gossip, swap stories, and savor communal food. The narrative emphasizes roles within the gathering, from joke masters to storytellers, and highlights sensory details like licking bowls and preparing pies and turkey. A small family dog modeled after a beagle adds intimacy and warmth. The setting can represent various holidays or ordinary weekends, celebrating conversation, chaos, and culinary creativity in family life.
