From turkey to Turkey Trots, parades to Detroit Lions Thanksgiving Day football, Absolute Michigan has all the food and fun for America's original holiday.

Michigan History: A wok down memory lane with La Choy
As America began its experiment with Prohibition in the early 1920s, some Michiganians concocted illegal spirits in their bathtubs. However, at least one Detroiter reportedly used his bathtub to grow bean sprouts. From such modest beginnings sprang the Chinese food brand La Choy.
