Chef Roy’s has a mean gumbo.
+1.
Grew up in Acadia Parish in 60’s. It’s how we/they made gumbo then and now. They put baked sweet potatoes in the bowl too.

Just for perspective, if my dad had given me a 50 year old car when I started driving, it would’ve been a 1920’s model! Don’t do this.

I’m not a Canes fanboy, but you are wrong. Zaxby’s serves overbreaded pcs of shite

Can be purchased directly from Pickapeppa website. Just checked both gal jugs and 5iz bottles are available.
Try Tombigbee and Riverboat Queen from the Squire and Autumn Evening (a Cornell&Diehl blend, but can be purchased from the Squire). All are mild with good taste and an excellent room note,

re: Aged Egg Nog Reminder

I rest mine for a year. Look, it’s got a lot of boize. It will be stronger than the shite you buy at the store. Aging it takes the edge off, not the proof.
Alton has three recipes iirc, one cooked (don’t), one using egg yolks and whipped egg whites (for this year use this one. It is great and not overly boozy). Next year use the aged recipe. I make mine on New Year’s Day for next year (you’ll never go back)

re: Charlie’s Steakhouse

I have not been in many years. I had heard that the food had slipped. Was hoping that it had improved. Good memories nonetheless.
Many memories from Charlie’s mid 80’s-90’s when in nola for med school and residency etc. Ruth’s was still on Broad when I first started school, but she was out of our budget. Charlie’s was closer and cheaper. 4-5 of us would go once every couple months. The steaks were wonderful.
I’m surprised he can get an intelligible word out around that bama cock he’s been slobbering over all these years.

M&M best delta tamales in this area
Tasted a couple different ones at a party last night. Tasted good. Must say that I much prefer the NY style (denser).
No. We went a couple of weeks ago for the first time in several years. A shade of its former self.
John Ferguson on the radio and Sid Crocker on the PA were special.

Did you mean former LSU basketball player Collis Temple??
Ate at one traveling in Florida. Surprisingly good.
Navy.

Smoked hamhock, pickle meat, link or two of good smoked sausage browned off. Proper veggies and the right stock. Excellent shite! Very good with fried fish. Enjoy
I did this a couple weeks ago, Freaking outstanding

Agree 1000%
the amount of pork liver is less in the larger producers than in the smaller (esp back in the day). T-Boy's still does a pretty good job.

re: Boudin...Liver or none?

Must have! Otherwise it’s pork and rice sausage. Now, I admit that I grew up in the Church Point/Mowata area in the late ‘60’s when “real” boudin was made in every little grocery store and was outstanding. I admit to being a boudin snob. But, for me must have a high liver content. Boudin along the I-10 corridor has been “tamed “ for the consumer. It’s not the same.
As I said, never timed it. Faster than my single jet by a good margin.
My 60 qt crab/shrimp pot’ll roll in 15-20 easy. Never actually timed it though. Don’t boil crawfish anymore since kids have left-just too much trouble.

The one I use. 170K BTU vs 106K for single jet. Much quieter.
