“Thought Justin Wilson was the Cajun Chef. Loved his show.”
I gaw-ran-tee.
Actually Justin Wilson wasn’t a Cajun but he was an excellent mimic of the way they speak and he promoted Cajun cooking.
Prudhomme obviously has a French last name but he could well be descended from Creoles, the original French settlers of New Orleans, as I am. A lot of people think Louisiana French equals Cajun and it just ain’t so. Creole power!
Looks like he was half…
“Wilson is half-Cajun by birth: His mother is descended from the French who fled British rule in Acadia in the 18th Century and found their way to Louisiana from what is now Nova Scotia.”
Sorry for the total hijack.
Justin was from way up nort'.
He from Amite, up in Tangipahoa Parish, almost in Mississip.
