 Even the most adventurous eaters often give their inner food warrior the day off on Thanksgiving - nothing but the same turkey, stuffing (or dressing!), cranberries, green bean casserole and pumpkin pie they've been eating since childhood. If one of those dishes goes missing, the whole meal just doesn't feel right. For Dr. Brent Ridge and Josh Kilmer-Purcell co-stars of Planet Green's "The Fabulous Beekman Boys," the must-have item is something that's much-maligned.

I love fruitcake and always order it every year from some wonderful monks somewhere (can't remember where at the moment because I'm out of town). I would definitely make my own if I had the Beekman Boys recipe!!!!
The one's I always remembered were ok, and if you don't care for fruitcake ( which seem to last forever) as I don't, you can always use it as a doorstop...Works great...So I hope the Beekman Boys have come up with a much better one...lol
It's true, their fruitcake is so delicious. Personally, I've never had a good fruitcake–but as soon as I saw that the boys had made one I knew I had to try it.
Believe me AuroraDawn, this fruitcake is wonderful. It's almost like fruitbread (think banana bread, pumpkin bread, etc.) but with fruit bits.
Thanks Kat! I'll give it a try for sure.
Fruitcake.....not a personal fave. Not a fan of candied fruit and peel. Strikes me as more traditionally Christmasy.....now if someone has a really amazing recipe,unlike the 40lb leaden bricks of my youth....I'd give it a shot.
Let me see if I can wrangle their fruitcake recipe. I've had it, and it's my favorite of all time.
I'd hit the one with the pretty orange scarf in a public bathroom , with or without the fruitcake.
LOL George you sound vaguely familiar from somewhere!
