We, who live in Louisiana, have no problem understanding him. He cooked authentic Cajun food and entertained with funny Cajun stories. He was one of our most treasured celebrities. Your subtitles are so wrong. Maybe you wanted him to cook gumbo.
i love this guy "i guarantee"
As someone from Louisville, I could understand most of what he said. Must be our Louie routes lol
@SICProwl I was going to say I'm from Kentucky too and understood him fine.
TH-cam captions has trouble registering cajun words or talking lol
I'm from Georgia, and I understood him perfectly. Cajuns (Rural French-Canadian and a bit of English) don't just live in Louisiana. In the U.S. we have different regional dialects. His accent remind me of the way my grand-parents spoke.
Justin had a very.... very thick Cajun accent that was hard for most people who aren't Cajun to understand. He used to have a cooking show about the same time Julia Child did but Julia was very proper and very accurate while Justin was a sly old codger who measured by... well, mostly guess work and experience. He was an excellent storyteller, always ended his show with a joke or story and a bottle of wine. His food, while good, was very spicy.... the way any good Cajun would want it... before adding the hot sauce. I always loved listening to him even though I didn't understand half of what he said. He and Julia have both passed on, but I can still remember Saturday mornings on PBS (the Public Broadcasting System).
I'm from kentucky never been within 500mi of louisiana but I understood him perfectly fine.
From Alabama, & I could understand him fine. I've heard thicker cajun accents.
As a Texan, I understand every word he says! And I never had one of his recipes get too damn hot! And I'm pretty sure there not a coonass thinks it hot! Oh and by the way. If somebody says anything about me saying coonass! I'm part coonass myself! And yes I'm a Coonass Texan Creole redneck! When you talk about a Heinz 57 that what I be! Have a great day!
Cajuns are definitely one of the coolest of American cultures. Great music, great food, great attitude. I'm not Cajun or Franco American myself, but I'm proud of them as countrymen.
As an American who struggles understanding an Aussie, British, Irish, or Scottish accent this makes me happy to know that I can understand this man with no problem and he has to frequently rewind to try to understand 😅
I’m from Lake Charles and I love when people react to Cajun Culture, laissez les bon temps rouler ⚜️🤟
Let the good times roll
Au oui!!
The Cajun language is very unique. They throw a little bit of French in with the English and even change the pronunciation of some specific vernacular. The use of the “th” in words it non-existent.
Example instead of saying “That thing” they would say “Dat ting”. And instead of saying “Very nice”, they just double up the word nice and say “Nice nice”. Like you heard on this video. 😊
Jambalaya usually has sausage, chicken and shrimp in it, along with pepper, celery and tomatoes
and lots of spices. There are many variations on this, though.
He's speaking Cajun which is a corruption of "Canadien". They are French people from Nova Scotia, who moved to Louisiana because they would not swear allegiance to the Queen when Britain took over rule of that part of Canada in the 1800s.
Let me amend something. The term Cajun more likely came from "Acadien" because they came from Acadia in N.S.
there are many different types of jambalaya...his accent is authenic Cajun from Louisiana
Too FUNNY! I haven't seen Justin Wilson in decades. My father loved watching him. He was good for a giggle. There are probably simpler recipes out there if you want to try making jambalaya. It might be difficult to find the sausage or some of the Cajun-specific ingredients. You did fairly well understanding him...his Cajun accent was sometimes pretty thick.
LOL! Your reaction was priceless! I was surprised he used a non-alcoholic beer; Justin usually used wine, and in very generous amounts. When he ate his meal, he always chose a wine he liked as opposed to pairing a wine according to the meat (like a white wine for fish and red for beef). He'd say that the fish don't mind what color the wine is.
I forgot to add Justin's original profession: safety engineer. You can tell because he's wearing both a belt and suspenders. (Really)
I love Justin Wilson ,i grew up watching him, especially his little jokes and he would pour wine in something he'd pour himself some and say " a little for you and a little for me". I grew up in Tennessee and i always understood every word.
Loved Justin Wilson.
Be sure and watch how he measures things while cooking. When he counts the measures, the final one is with both hands instead of one.
Cajuns were Catholic French thrown out of Nova Scotia by the British in 18th century. They moved to Louisiana. Magnificent food and music. Lots of joy of life. They speak their own French dialect.
Check out their zydeco music!
Thank you for reacting to the great Justin Wilson! I used to watch this with my dad on Saturday mornings. Don't worry my dad used to have to "translate" some of the words for me even though I spent plenty of time in Louisiana. He was born and raised in Louisiana, 1 of 8 siblings. My father passed away 01/04/2021 on my parent's 41st wedding anniversary, and seeing this filled my heart with joy and all the memories! I learned to cook by watching my grandmother and mother, no recipes just observing and helping. Have a wonderful day from a Texas girl whose heart will always be in Louisiana!
I'm from South Carolina and I understand every word. SC low country accent is sort of similar and I've spent a lot of time in LA.
Cajun is slang for Canadian who moved down from Canada after the British conquest. The people couldn't pronounce Canadian at that time, so they shortened it down to Cajun.
And the subtitles weren’t always correct. He said “picante sauce” not “pecan sauce” as the captions said. If you’re interested in a recipe for jambalaya I think you would be better served by searching for a recipe on the internet. It just looked to me like he was stretching leftover chili into a new meal with some rice, not that there’s anything wrong with that.
Justin Wilson is a national treasure. He had a cooking show in the 70's and he was so funny. There are so many ways to make jambalaya. The most famous kind is with chicken, andouille sausage, and shrimp. They use a vegetable base they call "the Holy Trinity" which consists of bell pepper, celery, and onion sauteed until golden. The most famous chef from Louisiana is Paul Prudhomme and you should look up his recipe. He worked for Commander's Palace and Emeril Lagasse learned from him and took over as chef when Paul went out his own.
Here is a link with a short explanation of how Cajuns came to be. The people were originally French settlers in what is now Nova Scotia, which they called Acadie. They were forcibly resettled when they refused to become British subjects when Great Britain took control of the area. Some of them ended up in South Louisiana and were called Cajuns when the Americans could not pronounce "Acadien" or "'Cadien" www.nps.gov/jela/learn/historyculture/from-acadian-to-cajun.htm
I watched his show all the time. Learned to understand the cajun accent. Thank you for sharing.
As a cajun born, and raised southerner I understood every word!!
I’m from the Gulf Coast and did better than usual with the Cajun accent. Thank you Bobby Hebert 😂😂
When i was a teenager, every Saturday on PBS i loved watching the frugal gourmet wuth Jeff Smith and then Justin Wilsons Louisiana cookin! And he would always tell these funny stories while cooking! He was the best! 😄
Justin Wilson was a true American treasure.
My father-in-law was a Navy cook aboard ship during WWII, and every Saturday he’d have to watch Justin (no DVR’s back then) so our schedules were adjusted accordingly. And the closed captioning had trouble as well! But it was close. As you watch a few it gets easier, plus I worked some in Louisiana so it was a little easier for me. Thanks!
I love Jambalaya. I use chicken, sausage, shrimp, rice, onion, peppers and Cajun seasoning and a few other things. Maybe it's because I'm sort of in the middle but I can understand you both but both of you have heavy accents. This is diversity that I love, the way it ought to be. Celebrate all cultures.
it’s so funny seeing non louisiana people reacting to cajun accents. makes me feel sooo cultured
Loved Justin Wilson...been gone years. Awesome cook... definitely from Cajun country Louisiana. His cooking show was very popular and did have live audience. He would tell some of the funniest stories and jokes. Thanks for the reaction.❤️

"What Is Hey Speaking?"
The Cajun accent is a dialect derived from French, so whenever he's referring to Jambalaya Alà Justin, his pronunciation of his name sounds like "Zhoo-Stan"
You can learn everything you need to know about cookin from Justin Wilson. I’m grateful my mom was Cajun and watched Justin when I was growing up. His cookbooks are amazing. I still measure a teaspoon just like Justin taught me.
I'm not Cajun, I actually live in Oklahoma but my dad loved watching Justin Wilson on PBS, growing up. So I heard him all of the time so I was able to understand everything he was saying when you were confused LOL!
He’s great at telling funny stories too.
“I guarantee!”
What makes the Cajun way of speaking so unique is the way they use English words but maintain a lot of French pronounciation, grammer, and sentence structure.
This man is the reason I never measure a spice unless I'm baking . I watched him on PBS all through the 90s growing up . A real Louisiana Legend .
Lmao even the closed caption wasn't right at one point he said he hadn't got a fire under this yet and it said fountain.
He's speaking English lol. R can understand him perfectly. When they get to speaking Cajun French nobody can understand them except other Cajuns.
Oh my Lord! I have laughed my butt off at your reaction! Thanks for making my day.
He's Cajun. Comes from Louisiana, US. Cajun's speak a french dialect...Lousiana Creole so they have a very neat accent to me. Loved to watch him.
He's not. He was faking the accent the whole time.
@@_bats_this isn’t Twitter, bait ain’t gonna get you anything🤦 just try accepting facts next time.
@@Theriness-qd2lo it's literally not bait. He was not Cajun, and that was not his real speaking voice. Look it up.
@@_bats_ lol even more bait. Not gonna fall for it
@@Theriness-qd2lo you're not going to be baited into... Reading information and learning something? Are you an actual idiot?
Louisiana accent to me as a floridian sounds like british slowed down and the words feel longer but I love it, probably the best Southern Accent
Im from Texas, raised in California and I understood him so well. Our elders sound just like him over here in Texas.
Sometimes you need a "decoder ring" with Justin's accent. He is a Cajun from Louisiana, where the accent is a mixture of French , Creole Indian, and English. I think Justin puts his own little spin on it too. haha.
He is Cajun, from Louisiana. That’s a mix of French and English. He will throw in French words now and then. He’s funny and a phenomenal cook! He had a TV show years ago.🐝❤️🤗
In addition to what other commenters have said about the origin of the Cajun accent, there's a syntax issue that takes a bit to get used to. He starts out with "How y'all are?" rather than the more conventional Southern "How are y'all?" and then goes on to "I'm glad for you to see me, I guarantee," rather than "I'm glad to see you". The "I guarantee" was his catch phrase, I guess. Basically if you heard that, you immediately knew it was Justin Wilson.
There's a channel that just replays his cooking show episodes constantly. If you want to get a good feel for a traditional, semi rural Cajun accent, just listen to that for a few hours.
I'm not Cajun but I'm born and raised in New Orleans I understand everything he is saying I used to watch this on PBS when I was a kid
Woo, loved Justin Wilson since childhood, can generally understand him, but never heard of chili jambalaya. And I actually have jambalaya on the menu for dinner tonight.
Love Justin Wilson, grew up watching his cooking show on PBS.
Justin wilson has always been an american national treasure. His cajun accent is from louisana. Every sunday afternoon, both my parents, myself and my brother watched his cooking show on PBS (educational public broadcasting service). If you watch carefully, most episodes, he was drinking with his "cooking alcohol". Watch a few more of his videos. You will enjoy it.
I'm from the West Coast primarily I got three out of five words and could follow along with the recipe. I spent several years in the deep south so that probably helps. It's vernacular and cadence
I watched Justin in childhood on Chicago Public Television. Never had a problem with his accent ... maybe because of mine? (Euro). Anyway, his recipes were pretty good, but *nothing* compared to Justin's sweet nature, charm and humor; an Americann original. RIP, dear Justin.
He's more lively in older videos. I loved watching him, growing up. He's hilarious and quite a character.
A friend of mine would do an awesome impersonation of him when we were grilling burgers at welding school, around 2008.
Ah, I love Justin Wilson. I always watched him on Public Television when I lived in Kentucky back in the late 70s or early 80s. He was always very entertaining.
I've always loved his shows and had no trouble understanding him, my even being New England born and bred,(the backcountry of northern new England having some nearly impenetrable accents of its own, especially among the old timers-I'm in my 70's so have been exposed to it long ago )- now you know how we Yanks feel when trying to work out what some Brits are going on about-I am also addicted to old BBC comedies, so I have little trouble with that either, and having worked in a boarding school kitchen when in school, and often being the only paleface in the place, with the others all being from the deep south Ol' Justin was no challenge, actually, I was working sometimes 40+ hours, and going to high school and was picking up a southern accent all my own for a while,-his shows are great, worth watching just for the stories alone, the cooking can be instructional as well .-Cheers Mate !
Here is a mild version of the"downeastish dialect" th-cam.com/video/vsqGxG6HiMk/w-d-xo.html
jambalaya has the rice in and be thick gumbo be a soup ya serve over rice cajun be a mix of the french and southern accent l loved his show
The greatest Cajun cook R.I.P.
I used to watch this guy all the time! I still use his teaspoon trick.
Jambalaya ingredients is similar to a shrimp paella. I think he uses the chili and picante sauce for the tomato and spice base. He was known for simplifying some recipes. So basically, Jambalaya is everything you would put in a chili plus rice, chicken, sausage (usually spicey sausage) and shrimp cooked until it's it is like a stew in consistency. Very very good!
Chili Jambalaya au Jus is the title. (au jus is the cooking term for with juice). 2 cups cooked chili - would have, meat, red kidney beans and a spicy tomato sauce; 3 cups uncooked rice mixed in. Then 1 cup mild Picante sauce - similar to salsa but less thick. Mix. Next was 1 cup water but he put in extra. Next was 12 oz non-alcoholic beer and 2 teaspoons salt. After that he just started it simmering, covered it and put a heat diffuser under the pot. I think because you wouldn’t want the gas flame to burn the food in one spot so you need even warmth along the bottom. I just stir often. To me Jambalaya is chicken and andouille sausage in rice with Cajun seasonings. But I buy the rice and seasoning in a box. I saw Justin Wilson telling hid stories once at an event in New Orleans. This was fun. Thanks
Loved this man!!! Funny stories and I always ended up do hungry! 🥰
They got some videos similiar to this going into the Texas German dialect.
Me, a Louisianian, like, "it's just a slight accent, how can you not understand him. He's playing it up for the views"
Also me, "I need subtitles for Game of Thrones, and just forget any Guy Ritchie movie..."
I am both ashamed and proud that I understood every word said in the video.
Chili Jambalaya
2 cups Cooked chili (with meat)
3 cups Uncooked rice
1 cup Mild Picante sauce
1 cup (or more) Water
12 oz bottle of Non-alcoholic beer
2 tsp Salt
Bring to a boil, stirring regularly, then reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer till water is absorbed and rice is cooked.
That proves Justin wasn’t an actual Cajun cuz there ain’t one respectable person, Cajun or not, from south Louisiana that would cook Chili Jambalaya and I’m from south Louisiana.
@@KajunMoo70 It very much looks like a TV "test kitchen" recipe. I know if I tried to make this for my family I'd get a *lot* of weird looks and very few takers. Of course people are eating pastalaya now so who knows.
@@lilykep exactly but in pastalaya, at least the only difference is replacing the rice with pasta so the flavor is still there☺️⚜️
I love how, even though I’m from New York, I understood everything that man said.
I remember watching Justin years ago.
Loved him.
Loved watching this back in the day. Along with Julia Childs and Yan Can Cook!
6:52 lol even the subtitles don't understand what he's saying!
This brings back childhood memories. Justin had one of my favorite cooking shows on PBS. Ooh eee, that’s good right there, I gauruntee. 😂🤘🏻
As a Midwestern American, I don’t have much of an issue with Justins accent. Funny thing is is that I know a few people who would have a similar reaction to an accent like yours. And some Irish/Scottish accents, goodness me. Haa
Used to love to watch Justin. I'm sure you've heard of Zsa Zsa Gabor, well Justin pronounces his name Zsoos-tahn. Grew up with and around Cajuns; had a brother-in-law from Mamou, LA, deep in Cajun Country. Loved watching this. Thanks.
I loved watching your reaction to this. We had a famous Cajun singer in the U.S. named Jimmy C. Newman who had a song called "Jambalaya." He used to throw in some Cajun expressions before singing. One I remember is "side by each." I believe it meant next to each other. When you hear Cajun music, you can't stand still - must dance.
What he said, I guaruntee, is:
Goodbye Joe, he gotta go, me oh my oh
He gotta go pole the pirogue down the Bayou
I guarantee you'll guarantee!!!
OMG! I grew up watching this man. I loved watching him cook
OMG! I grew up watching him on PBS! I grew up next door in Texas and was married to a Cajun for 16yrs so I can help. 😆
I loved watchin him, he was such a joy to watch/hear
Don't feel bad! I'm from the South (USA) & I have a difficult time understanding Cajun. You certainly can't trust the "closed caption" to help much! He was saying "simmer" & the CC said "summer"!😊
I like the Justin says onion. On yawns sometimes I find myself saying it
I watched him growing up and this Arkansas girl can understand every word lol ❤️❤️❤️
I used to watch Justin with my grandma every week on our public broadcasting station. I’m from the Deep South and I never had a problem understanding his Cajun accent even as a child. My family being deeply southern say a lot of the same things in the same way that does even though we’re not Cajun. I loved watching Justin cook and I still look up his videos on TH-cam to make certain recipes and for nostalgia.
I grew up in Oklahoma and watched this guy on public tv. Had no problem understanding him.
Bunk! I’m old enough to have heard Justin Wilson from the beginning to the end. He started out okay, but was phony sounding and got worse In trying to sound Cajun. Now don’t get me wrong - I liked him.
That’s because he wasn’t Cajun but tried to sound like one.
Subtitles aren't perfect. Also, his accent was stronger than this in earlier years. You didn't even get to hear him say, "onion." He was popular on public television years before any of the cooking channels came along
Onn yon. :)
Justin started as a comedian in the 60's , and also worked as a chef. I live in Texas about 100miles from Louisiana and yet that accent is hard to understand. I have worked with people with that accent . It took about 2 weeks working side by side to get to a point where i could understand what they was saying.
Justin Wilson is national treasure.
Fun fact... he wasn't cajun. He did it as an act, albeit one that just kind of became not an act after awhile.
I love Justin Wilson... Grew up watching his shows. He was fun to watch and listen to his stories, while learning to cook. I'm not from Louisiana, but I didn't have much problem understanding him.I've been watching some of his videos since I found them here on TH-cam one day not long ago 😄😄
Justin was a national treasure.
He would pronounce his name like "zsu stan" - if that helps. His stand up comedy is absolutely hilarious
Cajuns make some of the best foods in America!
That was chili Jim Ilya ha. Check outshrimp and chicken jambalaya, that’s what we make. Delicious!
Many of those in Louisiana have a mixture of American deep south and French speaking sounds emerged.
When the slaves came over, and the French had settled in that state, the cuisine of the two cultures
began to merge.
Louisiana, southern Mississippi, and Southern Alabama all share similar cuisine and in some still share that same speech patter.
I am not part of that culture as I was born and still live 250 miles inland from Mobile, Alabama.
As far as I know, Jambalaya is generally chock full of seafood, and Shrimp is at the top of that list, with oysters also used heavily in them. Rice is a must and lots of spices are required.
In upper Alabama, I would just call this rice and chili, and we might cook the rice and pour the chili on top of the rice, not mix it all together in the pot.
Mr. Wilson came from the generation of Cajuns making the transition from speaking French at home and school to speaking English. He's easily understood by younger generations because they grew up hearing their grandparents and great-grandparents speak the dialect. Some of the syntax and word order follow French convention and even today, there's a plethora of French terms and phrases used, usually in situations where there's no English equivalent. Older Cajuns tended to be very comical, and puns and word-play made the transition from French to English. You'll note the way he speaks to inanimate objects, like a bowl of salt, like you would talk to a small child or a pet. And they're raconteurs par excellent.
Some of the subtitling was incorrect.
As far as jambalaya goes, its roots are in native culture, not the ridiculous Eurocentric "jamb à la ya” MYTH ("ya" being a Yoruba word for rice). Jambalaya means means "boiling water" in the Chitimacha language. You see the "-alaya" suffix in the names of many Louisiana bayous, rivers and other waterways. There are countless varieties of jambalaya and they're all tasty. I lived in New Orleans for 20 years and I'm partial to the local "red" variety, similar to Spanish rice.
He is not a true Cajun as he even admitted that.
It's a Cajun accent -a french, English, African & Spanish Dialect (Cajun). Mainly French/English....... He has Chicken & other Jambalya. This is a more of a chili with rice recipe.
His food is amazing
He was so FUN to watch, and after a few shows, the accent became easier.
Au jus I believe.
You were probably thinking gumbo and his accent wasn’t that bad it can get worse
It's a mouthful...
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajun_English
I understand Justin Wilson and adored him
Texan and I understood almost everything
Gods, talk about a flashback! My Great-Grandma was full Cajun and she spoke a bit like this so I love, love, love listening to Cajun speakers because I can sometimes remember her better that way.
Cajun is heavily influenced by French, Spanish, and First Nation languages - depending upon where the speaker originated from. There's sort of a short hand to it that can be lost to outsiders. That being said, I cannot stand the romance languages - I cannot roll my Rs to save my life, and French seems to be more vowels than anything. So I can listen all day long, but I can't speak it to save my life.
He’s Cajun… from Louisiana… he did have a cooking show on TV.
Even the subtitles didn't understand what he was saying!
