Justin Wilson is the very first cooking show I ever watched and it is still the best cooking show I ever watched the man is a hero of mine and it brings a tear to my eye seeing these old episodes like this
There wasn't any one like Justin Wilson. He was a down home cook. I watched him all the time when I was younger 🤣😂😂😂🤣😂🤣😂. Thanks for bringing the series ☺️🙂😃🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂 back!!!!
In 1997, WKNO Memphis and WYES New Orleans produced a show called "Justin Wilson's Looking Back", which is a repackaging of Justin Wilson's first TV cooking show "Cookin' Cajun" (1971). It was produced by The Mississippi Center for Educational Television. Each episode began with Wilson sitting in an armchair before going into the actual episode.
Growing up, I loved watching Justin Wilson! Great cooking and funny as can be. The world needs more Justin Wilson’s. Thank you for posting these and bringing joy during these tough times.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Please keep them coming. I was hoping for a DVD set or something and was depressed that I couldn't find one. I loved watching Justin with my mom on PBS as a kid. Believe it or not she watched him with her dad too! An incredibly long and illustrious career.
Justin Wilson got a cooking show on television, and here's how it happened: He sat in a tiny restaurant in Denham Springs, Louisiana, right outside of Baton Rouge, when a young man walked up to him and said; "Mr. Wilson, my name is Bob Roland, and i'm with Mississippi ETV. Bob, that don't spell a doggone thing. No, but it stands for Mississippi Educational TV, and we would like for you to do a cooking show for us. That was 1971, you must be crazy to think i can cook on television. I might be, but i believe we could have a good show, and i hope we did. It had to be the first Cajun cooking show on television". So Wilson came up with an idea for a cooking show, and called it "Cookin' Cajun".
Yeah, sir`reee..we ✔ DONE that I there, we served up `em there vital's 👍 true to be alive, an brilliant idea 💡 come to light, Justify time ⏲ 😀 to watch weekly... Let's run backwards a few years later to watch again. Looking goodness right in the kitchen cameras 👁 eye...lol
Yes Sir! My Grandma was Cajun but Grandpa didn’t let her pass down anything from her culture except Gumbo. I’ve done our ancestry and I can trace her roots back to Nova Scotia and then to France. I taught myself to cook as a young woman and I’ve realized that i naturally cook a lot like my Cajun side.
...last I checked it is. But not for the reason you think. It wasn't misinformation. It was utility. To me a scallion is the small onion like seasoning vegetable that has flavors of both onion and garlic. A shallot is a green onion. They are still sold as seeds with different names to this day in South Louisiana.
@@cajunrando2556You checked wrong, and the internets will help you with that. A scallion is a green onion, also called a Spring onion. A shallot is a small bulb about the size of a man's thumb, that has a flavor similar to Leeks, but with a touch of garlic. I grew up in Abita Springs. That's right smack in the middle of Southern Louisiana, and I can tell you that calling a green onion a shallot, isn't a Louisiana thing. It's just a mix up, and he probably never new any difference. The man wasn't a chef, just a country cook. He probably grew up calling them that, and never knew any difference.
He's from up i59. But, when my pawpaw made jambalaya at the camp and didn't want to make a lot, this was how he did it. A pan jambalaya. Odd for a poor Cajun from South Louisiana.
This episode is 51 years old and 100X better than 90% anything on the Food Network and PBS.

When I was little (early 90s) I called Justin Wilson “the on-yon man!” and watched him religiously. I’m so glad to find these videos on TH-cam!
The Shop On-yon man. When I cook at home now I act like I’m cooking on his show.

Story time with Justin Wilson could've been another great show..I GAUROONTEE
I so miss this wonderful man. Watching his show I've learned how to make Creole Ham, Jambalaya, Collards, and the BEST Garlic Bread.
Thank you for posting this, I grew up watching his shows.
I GARONTEEE we need more episodes!
GO HEAD ON!

Don't know what I love more the cooking or the stories.... I GUARANTEE
Celery, onion and bell pepper. We in Louisiana call them the Holy Trinity of cooking.
Yes Sir! My Grandma was Cajun but Grandpa didn’t let her pass down anything from her culture except Gumbo. I’ve done our ancestry and I can trace her roots back to Nova Scotia and then to France.

Don't forget the garlic 😋
I agree. Take away my onions, garlic and my bell pepper, I might as well give up cooking.
I watched Justin all the time.He was just fantastic!!!!!!! Love his shows. Ann pierson
Love it! He reminds me of my granddad, so please post as many episodes as you have!
Mr. Justin Wilson knows how to make the funny bone work when telling a really funny Cajun story.
E/nd y/our l/ife
I loved watching this guy when i was younger
I'm glad for me to see him again, I guar-an-tee!
Nice series - keep it going please
Was thinking about him lately
That voice those stories. Could watch for hours❤
I always loved Justin! I would have loved to have had the chance to meet him. He was such a colorful character, I bet he made everything fun!
Feel like I just hit the Lottery....!!!!
I Thank my parents for making me watch his show...to this day..I'm very fond of those memories...
I always watched Justin; He was on just before Gilligan's Island. First Justin and then Mary Ann...those were to good old days.
thank you soooooo much merci beaucoup !
Love him.
The same person to invent green onions invented twin beds ! The sayings are killing me 😂
A Production of WKNO Memphis, and WYES New Orleans
Love watching his Cajun shows and all his food shows and his jokes was priceless
Loved watching him…and still do! My guy says “these sissy people”. YES! Real talk! Give me more of this era and less of the one I live in today!
Love it
I’m surprised Justin Wilson never owned any restaurants.
I am surprised that you did not know that these recipes were served almost daily in everyone's home. :)
Thats money duuude
👍👍👍👍👍
Wow his first show. : )
Hoo this is a good show I guarantee
Gotta get one of those Shootguns
Good eats
He is a legend no doubt but it drives me crazy watching him touch raw meat an then touch the spice shakers without washing his hands
👍
I garrontee a shallot is NOT a green onion... scallion yes, shallot no. in 30 years of TV cooking, no one ever bothered to tell him that.
...last I checked it is.

Wash your hands
Fake Cajun
pretty obvious this guy has no idea what he's doing here
He's from up i59.

Odd for a poor Cajun from South Louisiana.
