Seriously, how loud/annoying are the cowbells?

Don't think I can sit through that if it's too bad.

If you're already thinking about leaving, then it's past time to leave.

What are you guys doing to the more orangy brown color?

This time I cooked the pork first and really cooked it longer than I normally do. Turned the heat up so that it would stick to the pot. Stirred often and seasoned with Nunu's while cooking.

Added the sausage and cooked for a while before removing all of the meat and adding the vegetables.

Also, like Geaux Tigers 0107 mentioned, I added water and cooked it away a few times.

Any type of cook off is highly subjective. You can cook that exact same pot every year and one year win and another come in dead last

Told my boss the same exact thing.
I cook it the same way every year and place up and down the board.
It'd just be nice to place higher one year. The prize is a new jambalaya pot and burner combo.

I couldn't image trying to discern between 36 jambalaya's, from 36 coonasses, all using the same ingredients. That's got to be a whole shitload of hair splitting.

For sure.

The winner had a very light-colored jambalaya. No idea what seasoning he used.

You can put as much or as little as you want from the list and any kind of seasoning you choose. This year I used Nunu's

I placed 5th a few years ago using Cajunland :dunno:

Any leftovers?

After we turn a plate into the judges, the rest is collected and fed to the rest of the plant workers on day/night shifts.

I always keep a few go boxes to bring home.

I met that dude that used to post The Trough on here every week years ago at a tailgate.
Interesting fellow.

Can't remember his name on here but I'm sure someone will.

re: The 3rd quarter mass exodus is a myth. Traffic is brutal everywhere.

Posted by NatalbanyTigerFan on 9/28/26 at 4:51 am to Swamp Frog x

I've never gone to a game and thought that the traffic leaving would be easy.

We only go to 2-3 games a year for the past 20 years and we have never left early. I figure if we have paid for tickets, drove to the stadium and parked in free parking, then why leave early just to sit in traffic and listen to the game.

Traffic has sucked every single time we have left from either the Law Center, The Hayfield or parked along Nicholson. Traffic is just a part of the experience. It shouldn't be but it is.
