Jambalaya Festival in Gonzales

It's this weekend. I've always seen signs for it but have never been. How does this thing work? Does the general public show up and just go from booth to booth eating jambalaya? Can you try/buy anyone's jambalaya, if so how do you know who's is good?

I am cooking in the contest today at 11:30. You can buy jambalaya from the festival booth. Cooks are not allowed to serve from the competition pots to the general public. Heck, they won't even let the public under the tent where the cooks are. After we turn in our sample box to the judges, the pot we cook is turned into the festival to be sold so you will be buying competition jambalaya. You just will not know who cooked it.

It should all be good! Jambalaya cooked over a wood fire is delicious!

When you be a good time to show up? I got family from Colorado and kids under 5 to balance. Any suggestions? I want to get a good sampling.

The cooks cook the jambalaya, it is judged and then boxed up and sold. You don't know whose you are getting and it is not always good. With the limitations the cooks have, the jambalaya there is never the best by my standards, but it is authentic.
