This is sad. Both my wife and I loved his show and have regretted seeing him decline in the last few years. He's handling all of God's barbeques and cookouts now.

A sad day. I haven't seen the show recently and have been missing it.

Wow - that was one of my favorite cooking shows! How sad. :-(

Bump for Justin Wilson-a true southern gentleman and a great entertainer.

He taught me how to make red beans and rice. Rest in peace, Ju-stan. You will be missed.

Always enjoyed the show.
He taught me that I could use the palm of my hand as a teaspoon measure for salt.
That doesn't sound like much, but if you've ever tried to bake bread with a 3-year-old, the last thing you need is to have to look for is a set of measuring spoons.

A common highlight of Justin's show:
"Now, you put in jes' a leetle bit this Louisiana Hot Sauce. 'Bout a teaspoon full is all."
(Begins shaking the bottle violently over the food. Red jets fly with each shake. Still shaking, he turns back to the camera.)
"Don' wahn git too much, now!"
(Audience begins to titter. The red stuff is still flying.)
"You wanna measure raht so you git jes' about a teaspon."
(The audience is solidly laughing now. Neither they nor he has any real idea how much sauce is in the mix.)

From way up north...even further than Shreveport, thanks for the lessons Justin.
"It isn't all that hard, but so few people know how to take what they have and put it together and season it properly," he said. "It's creative cooking -- that's all it is."
To: HAL9000
Aww. Too bad this is a good show. Full of spices and sauteed Oon-yunnns!

I'd wonder what had become of Mr. Wilson. Godspeed.
One thing for sure...only America (and Lousisia) could produce such a phenomenal cook/chef!

Well, the banter was a lot of fun. But I always marveled that he cooked in big ol' washtubs and never cooked for less than 100 people! He used an oar for a wooden spoon! :o) fsf

And he never forgot his glass of wine with the meal...

I remember Justin Wilson's comedy records from the 60s and 70s. But wasn't it later shown that he was not even "Cajun"?
