How so? Who do you recommend?

I mean...I guess I'd be considered an amateur since my day-to-day job isn't a cook but I've been paid to cook for up to 400 people. And I've found his site pretty helpful

You've obviously never cooked down sliced smoked sausage with lots of onions to make a gravy and then decided to put it on a sandwich because it looked so good...and tasted even better. As such, your further opinion of food is shite to me.

I can't stand it when someone thinks they know something about the foods of Louisiana and come up with recipes for them.

Take this cat Meathead of AmazingRibs.com for eaxample.


I'm a Louisiana food partisan, but AmazingRibs is a great site for barbecue tips. It's my go-to. Ragging on Meathead for not knowing dick about Louisiana food is like criticizing Michael Jordan for being a shitty baseball player.

Didn't see bell pepper used anywhere in the recipe but I guess I could've missed it.

There's an easy solution to this. Don't write about something you know nothing about! On top of that don't send it allover the country or whatever his email list consists of.
It's not like what he talks about on BBQ can't be found anywhere else.

The wife of a good friend will fix "cajun" food for me from time to time. They're both from Long Island, NY. I always eat whatever they cook for me with a smile - bless her heart.

The worse fake Cajun there ever was was Justin Wilson and folks still admore him till they try some of his recipes. He wasn't a Cajun, he wasn't a cook, and I feel sorry for folks that dont know better. IMO he hurt our culture worse than any one.



Can you expound on this some please? It's always been a fascinating subject to me.

Looks like he's trying to do a play off a bbq shrimp poboy but with andouille, as well.

This bothers me more than the food.

And this...

quote:

In N'orleans they like everything hot, but it will not be so hot when you use it on meat.


Once again, he's obliterates the name of the city and then says the citizens of the city like everything hot which isn't true.

quote:

In fact that is how it is used in New Orleans, to make the classic barbecue shrimp and andouille po-boy.


Is a shrimp and andouille poboy a classic?

Passing off authenticity bothers me too. I don't mind calling something a jambalaya, gumbo, etc that is off the wall and not what'd we do. Americans have appropriated all kinds of foods, just don't call it authentic.
that is because most people are ignorant to the authenticity of the food they are eating. The name sells the food not how it's made.

Pretending to Know ANYTHING About Louisiana Foods


You mean like when New Orleans people act like they know how to cook jambalaya, gumbo, or any boiled seafood?

Silly libs, leave the Cajun food to the Cajuns.

Hey hey hey... Justin was a good a guy as there was, ( he bought me a beer once). But besides that his Mom who taught him to cook was as Cajun as they come.

I always thought Justin Wilson's shows were part cooking and part humor.
