Stadium Rat is a legendary internet user on the TigerDroppings.com forums who permanently altered Louisiana culinary culture by creating the world-famous Jambalaya Calculator.

The Jambalaya Calculator
On the TigerDroppings Food and Drink Board, Stadium Rat solved a universal problem for Southern tailgaters: scaling up jambalaya for large gatherings without ruining the recipe.

The Problem: Normal recipe scalers do not account for the high-stakes liquid ratios required for massive pots, often yielding mushy rice or overflowing cast-iron setups.

The Excel Solution: He engineered a multi-tabbed Excel spreadsheet that flawlessly computes the precise mathematical ratios of meat, rice, produce, seasonings, and water.
Dynamic Scaling: Cooks can scale recipes for up to 25-gallon pots using different constraints:
By Servings: Enter the number of guests to get the perfect ingredient math.
By Pot Size: Enter the size of the cast iron pot to know exactly where the fill line will land.
By Meat/Rice: Input what you already have on hand, and it tells you how much of everything else you need.

Evolution into an App What started as a forum file share quickly became the gold standard for backyard cooks, competition chefs, and LSU tailgaters. The community relied heavily on the spreadsheet for over a decade, paired with an authentic Gonzales-style recipe from fellow user pochejp. Due to its massive cult status, the tool officially transitioned into the standalone Jambalaya Calculator iOS App on the Apple App Store, allowing users to scale recipes, export shopping lists, and track batch notes right from their phones.

Online Legacy Active on TigerDroppings since the mid-2000s, Stadium Rat remains a foundational figure of the site’s food board. He continues to maintain the board's official download threads, digital cookbooks, and culinary tools.
