re: Anybody Cooking in the Jambalaya Fest Cookoff?

This is how the rule and tradition came about : When the men who started the festival discussed it, one was willing to donate the chicken, rice and veggies. Donating the pork and sausage was too expensive and they couldn’t find other donors to cover that cost at that point. This they went with chicken. It became “tradition” and now the rest is history.
