It's no secret we love Thanksgiving sides around these parts.

According to MarketWatch, the most popular Thanksgiving side (by unique Google searches) in every state varied from sweet potatoes, to mac and cheese, to seven-layer salad. (Wisconsin, mind if we swing by for those garlic mashed potatoes?)
