RFI: movie scene with black dysfunctional family thanksgiving

I have a memory of this thanksgiving scene -- pretty sure I didn't see the movie and just saw it on youtube. African American family, very tense scene, well-meaning male character who is clearly someone's guest makes the mistake of complementing one of the women's side dishes and she takes offense and flies off the handle. That's all I got.

anything on this list? http://filmdrunk.uproxx.com/2012/11/supercut-thanksgiving-dos-and-donts-from-movies

I feel like you're describing a scene from Soul Food

could be, soul food thanksgiving is a tough search on youtube bc it's mostly cooking stuff

this happens in Boardwalk Empire, but it's the dad who flies off the handle

From the film "Who Made the Potatoe Salad?"
