I'd just rather him explicitly say, 'hey, I'm making something that I like and tastes good that is sort of like Louisiana jambalaya' rather than say 'I'm making Louisiana jambalaya and here's how to do it.'

You want him to in ever video say this isn't authentic?

You can argue it's a minor quibble, but it's not because he's over my head and I don't "get" him.

I just don't see your point if he never claims it's authentic and you know his style. I haven't watched this video yet, but I'd be shocked if he doesn't al least twice reference his way isn't traditional/authentic. BRB

ETA: Only one, but still. I would get the hate if he ever sold it as authentic (like many other horrible attempts online), and he never does.

Naw, he just told people it was a "jambalaya so great, you'll think you're still in New Orleans, at Mardi Gras, beads around your neck,"

Then goes on to cut 1 inch pieces of "vegetables" including red onion, use chorizo that looked like it was meatless soy sausage, tell people if you don't have something like Tony's, you can use Old Bay and "it'll be fine," and then drop a bunch of shrimp in with the tails on (personal pet peeve of mine, but I digress).

So since he's talking to his viewers who would largely be non-suspecting tourists who think New Orleans and all of Louisiana are synonymous, I guess that statement "you'll think you're still in New Orleans, at Mardi Gras, beads around your neck" ... checks out.
