Cook them by themselves first with some butter and get em soft. I'll do it with onions before chili but I've never put celery in mine

Put the veggies in first, and put them on a low heat for about 20 minutes until the onions and celery are translucent.

You're gonna wanna keep putting celery in chili when you do it this way.

I like it on Fritos, then with raw onions and cheese on top.

I gotcha. I added green and red bell peppers for the first time too, so I threw some celery in it for the hell of it.

The peppers will get added again, not the celery.

I can do anything from frying perfect chicken to baking a German chocolate cake.from shrimp cocktail (my own cocktail sauce) to perfect bbq .....


And I can pick a baw off the street who can do all of that for 250+ people at a moment's notice... And he likely has all of the industrial cookware already on hand.

Besides, who brags about cake and shrimp cocktail?

I made a 10 gallon peach upside down cake for a company party. Never did it before, winged it. People were fighting for the caramel at the bottom.

Ah.

Figured it out guys, he's from Southwest Arkansippi, not Louisisana.

No wonder you can't cook right.

Yup. Got a buddy and our conversations usually include locating one of the giant pots or burners or what have you. Seems like we are always cooking a ton of food for folks.

I've really taught myself how to cook everything I can cook.
Fortunately, I like to eat so cooking is a fun hobby of mine.
I'm from Louisiana, but the food I grew up eating is completely different than what is cooked south of BR.

I've lurked(and enjoyed) you baws banter since around 08, but I had to draw the line and sign up to respond to this topic! I'm not saying y'all aren't good "cooks" but, I think you may be stretching it a bit regionally!
I grew up in Nebraska, and learned at an early age how to cook everything for my very large family reunions (200-300 extended family members)! We cooked, grilled, and baked different cuisines than you do, but still the same principal techniques!
Every "Man" I knew, growing up, knows how to cook, and cook well for a large crowd, so I can't say whether Louisiana has the most, best, or what for males cooking but I wouldn't label one over the other either!
FWIW I don't consider throwing ingredients in a pot and boiling it, much of "cooking" either!
Lived in the SW,SE, MW, and the NE so I'm basing my info off a broad sampling of diverse cultures!

There it is! My first post and I'm ready for the onslaught from the OT!

Thanks in advance!

lol. People in Louisiana have got to be the most clueless about what others cook and eat in other parts of the country/ world. It's hilarious really. Keeps drowning everything in an all encompassing pot of slop and salt and patting yourselves on the back, y'all.

Louisiana is definitely number 1, but Mississippi boys can cook to. Especially the ones that grew up in Louisiana.

I've had lobster in NE, the "awesome" crabs in Maryland; both were terrible. Steaming seafood then dumping the seasoning on the outside is awful. I usually try the local cuisine when traveling. The Tex-Mex type dishes and BBQ's are usually tasty but the rest always are too bland for my taste. Good food doesn't have to be spicy hot, but it has to have flavor. That's one thing most folks here in La understand and do well.
