Quotes

"Allrecipes.com thrives on its vibrant user community of more than 25 million passionate home cooks like Doug Matthews. When we saw how our community responded to Doug's blog, we knew we had to help that community express its appreciation for what we all think is truly the best day of the year."
- Lisa Sharples, President of Allrecipes

“We have all different walks of life in our family. This is a really rough time to be bombarded with ‘you gotta buy, you gotta buy…I think consumers would still love deals if they happened on the Friday after.”
- Penny Hanstad, Allrecipes.com Community Member

"After all, from the very beginning Thanksgiving has been an American holiday about being thankful about what we have—the big things in life, family, friendships, memories, good health—not about crazy stuff on sale. Lets enjoy Thanksgiving instead of letting Christmas Occupy Thanksgiving."

- Doug Matthews, Allrecipes.com Community Member and Leader of the Respect the Bird movement

"Thanksgiving is an amazing holiday and I believe I was speaking for a lot of people when I wrote the blog post last year about Respect the Bird. I am thrilled that Allrecipes is taking Respect the Bird to a new level with this campaign and I hope it sets a precedence that the holiday be celebrated by sharing thanks and good food with friends and family, not Black Friday shopping!"

- Doug Matthews, Allrecipes.com Community Member and Leader of the Respect the Bird movement
