Last year, this question appeared on the Jeopardy board:
"Thanksgiving 2019 went horrendously bad in the Quadri household. The mashed potatoes were chunky, the baked macaroni was cold, and the turkey was raw.
This family member dared to call out Sakina Saman Quadri's horrible turkey making skills, which caused the downfall of the entire evening."
I was a little worried that no one would know the answer to this question because not everyone here was at our house for Thanksgiving 2019 or had even heard of the incident that had happened on that fated night. However, the team that chose the question last year incidentally had the answer on their team.
The answer was Habeeb Quadri.
Habeeb was one of the 7 people present at the table in 2019, and of the people present ONLY THIS ONE PERSON finished their plate that day, despite the food was atrocious.

SPECIAL QUESTION
Keith Guerke posed as a fake Chef on multiple television networks promoting his fake book "Leftovers: Right."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3335KNFYK1I
Keith said, “The prank came out because we were very bored back in our home state of Wisconsin over the holidays and wanted to do something dumb,” he explains. “We’ve been on a lot of morning TV shows promoting the Found Footage Festival and there’s always a chef doing a cooking segment on right before us. We thought it’d be a slam dunk to pose as a chef doing a book on what to do with your holiday leftovers, and I drew the short straw to go on-air.”
Which member of the family would un-ironically be Chef Kieth?
Arwa Quadri or Sakina Quadri
