re: Anybody Cooking in the Jambalaya Fest Cookoff?

Let me say this and inform everyone on how it meaning the contest came to be. In the 1960's hen jambalaya was cheap to feed a large number of people. Someone came up with the idea of cooking a pork and sausage jambalaya. It went over real well and has been the matrix ever since. The Jambalaya Festival association has kept the tradition alive of cooking a chicken jambalaya alive for over 50 years. This contest is the only cooking contest that we know of that is cooked on an open fire, except BBQ contests.
