"  From his home base in Florence, Alabama \u2014 outside the fashion vortex that is New York City \u2014 Billy Reid runs a brand that nails local culture. His stores feel like Southern homes, with a staff that&amp;#039;s probably nicer than your own family, and clothes that are as instantly comfortable and familiar as sitting on the couch, watching football, on Thanksgiving day. It was smart, then, of Bon App\u00E9tit to find out how the designer himself does the holiday, then print the whole spread, and some goofy hunting photos, in their November issue. The package just dropped online, and we&amp;#039;re already trying to convince our East Coast family that crawfish gravy is a thing, and that there&amp;#039;s this site called cajungrocer.com that will help us make it happen. But even if you&amp;#039;re not willing to tinker with your revered Thanksgiving menu this November, there&amp;#039;s still some lessons to learn from Reid. Take, for instance, the natty tweed blazer (his own design) that he wore to a dinner celebrating the magazine story. This holiday season, as you&amp;#039;re getting dressed, just add chinos. Or, if you&amp;#039;re lucky, the gorgeous Karine Vanesse (who&amp;#039;s on Pan Am with this lovely creature). Or, take the setting of the dinner: a restaurant called Peels, on a stretch of Manhattan called the Bowery. It&amp;#039;s hundreds of miles from home (and the South, for that matter), but we learned it&amp;#039;s still Reid&amp;#039;s favorite place, when he&amp;#039;s in New York, for authentic corn dogs, fritters, grits, and other snacks that may never see our Thanksgiving spread, but for which our stomach would certainly be grateful today.
