Annual Feast

Thanksgiving is a traditional, formal affair for the Lees and their whole family. The next day is all about leftovers, but by Saturday, it’s time for another kind of feast. For 20-plus years, Matt and Ted have made a November pilgrimage to the Johns Island, South Carolina, home that novelist Josephine Humphreys shares with her husband, Tom. Although the brothers spend some of the year in New York City, Ted says, “My spiritual home is Charleston. Here is where we go to cook.”
