Eat, Fry, Love – William Shatner Cooks a Turkey

William Shatner loves deep-fried turkey, but over many Thanksgivings and Christmases he's made mistakes, burned himself, and nearly burned down his house. In this dramatic retelling, Bill shows us how dangerous turkey fryers can be.

Surreal even by Shatner standards:

    This is why the NCC-1701-D was the better ship. Replicators. Not fires from trying to fry a Turkey.

    Also, since Shatner is Canadian, shouldn’t this have been posted in October? 😀

    We fry a turkey just about every year.

    Fried cornish game hens are better.
