Unique Food and Beer Blog I Stumbled Upon

This guy, RL Reeves Jr, writes about Texas, Louisiana, Alabama and Kentucky food. I think he grew up in Kentucky, lives in Austin and has strong ties to Louisiana cooking.
He also writes about craft beer and the 9th ward of New Orleans. Check out the recipe section. You have to keep digging further and further back - there doesn't appear to be an index, but the recipes are interesting. For example, he likes to use roasted Hatch peppers in place of bell peppers in the trinity.

I'll bet that jambalaya tastes great. Sorry it doesn't fit your narrow world view.

The jambalaya just screams "you're going to be shitting hot fire the next two days."

I don't like huge chunks of pepper in it. I'll eat any jambalaya, but a dish like that thrives when the veggies are cooked down into it.
He was the one who said "real" jambalaya, not me.

Apparently this guy is eating and writing his way across several states and countries. Here's another blog of his that is similar. On this one, he says he lives in New Orleans.

That's Russell, who used to work at Courtyard Brewery.

I guess the R stands for Russell then.

I've actually followed this blog for a few years. It's funny- I moved from New Orleans to Austin and started reading his site. He was basically an Austin food scene blogger at the time. He then moved from Austin to New Orleans and started in on the south Louisiana food scene. He has had some interesting takes on things. I'm now back in south Louisiana myself and as always in desperate search for crawfish boiled properly and without all the sprinkled grit all over them.

No offense but those veggies aren't chopped finely enough for my taste.

Even if it was bell pepper, it would still be too much.

I thought he looked familiar, man he was fun. They had a shirt with his imagine on it for awhile

From his etouffee post: The winner of the first etouffee cookoff says,
I got so much shite on here for saying a little tomato paste goes into crawfish etouffee.. So read it and weep, sucka's

After the onion is sauteed, tomato paste or tomato sauce is added along with onion tops and parsley.

fricking Russell
He always fascinated me. He'd talk to you for hours about jack squat before he finally pulled you a beer. Apparently he got under the skin of quite a few people and he made his way over to Second Line.
My favorite was him asking you to describe the flavor of whatever beer you ordered, then he would correct you about what you really tasted. shite, dude, I've never tried a kumquat, so if you say it tastes like a kumquat, well, I guess it does! I just thought it was citrus

Just think of it as an Altoid for the rectum.

This popped up in one of my feeds. Could be interesting LINK /

IWEI. There are plenty of rice , protein and vegetable concoctions that are close to the "classic jambalaya". I'd eat and enjoy many of them if seasoned well.

Hot bowls of Cajun gumbo will go down really good after Thoth.
