Michael Bublé Shares His Favorite Holiday Side Dish
In a recent interview with Allrecipes, Michael Bublé opened up about his holiday cooking rituals and favorite seasonal dishes. The Grammy-winning singer enjoys setting a cozy atmosphere in the kitchen with classic crooners like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Tony Bennett, and of course, his own music.
Comfort Food and Music
Bublé described how during the holidays, music helps create a warm mood, making comfort dishes feel even more inviting. He said:
“When I’m in the kitchen, especially during the holidays, I like to set the mood with some music.”
Holiday Favorites
During the interview, Bublé played a game called "Underrated or Overrated?" to rate common holiday dishes. He gave special mention to a few favorites:
- Mashed potatoes with gravy made by either his mother or wife
- Egg nog, which he enjoys both in coffee and French toast
- Pumpkin pie, described as his “favorite all-time pie”
Dish He Dislikes
In contrast, Bublé dismissed green bean casserole as a dish he avoids:
“Completely overrated. I don't want any of that.”
The Underrated Side: Stuffing
Surprisingly, Bublé praised stuffing—particularly the simple kind over fancy or restaurant versions—calling it:
“Completely underrated.”
This preference may come as a surprise given the variety of traditional holiday sides, but Bublé clearly values the humble stuffing for its comforting qualities.
