    My grandpa was from Louisiana and he always watched this show. I remember grandpa being a slight “hater” too. As he watched Justin whip up his Cajun dishes, he could be heard saying to himself “I bet that don’t taste like nothing!” Then he would wave his hand 😩😩😩😩. Grandpa is gone now, but I watch Mr. Justin every now and again to bring a little piece of him back.

    What he said towards the end about gumbo is true for all soups and stews. You cook it today, but don't serve it today. You put it in the fridge overnight, then take it out tomorrow, heat it up slowly until it's bubbling, and then serve it. Everything will have a chance to marinate in the seasonings overnight, and will taste loads better.

      Yes, PatrickRsGhost ; CORRECTO ! But after refrigerating overnite, & briefly bubbling the next day ; LET IT SIT (covered) for at least a couple hours before serving to give it even more time to blend all the flavors..Yes, holds true for ALL stews & soups ; they should never be rushed ...

    OMG !! How wonderful someone brought back up his cooking episodes. My late grandmother used to watch his shows religiously. Not for the cooking. Just to hear him talk. She used to tell me if you ever want to know how my family and I spoke before we went to school all you have to do is listen to Justin (Wilson). My older family member's were born and raised near Red River, LA. So, they would have been very familiar with people speaking this way.
    Rest in peace, dear Mr. Wilson. Your stories, manners and influence live on.

    • @kangarooninja2594
      @kangarooninja2594 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Red River is pretty far North of the prairie lands where most Cajuns are from, and the Eastern areas where the Creoles are mostly from. But, just like all cultures, the French cultures weren't static, they blended East into Mississippi, West into the Houston area, and even North towards Arkansas and the Red River area where your family is from.
      Depending on when and where your grandmother came up and her ethnicity, she may be remembering a time when people were being forcefully assimilated into the greater Anglo culture of America, around the time people were punished and socially ostracized for speaking French. My grandfather used to call non-French people "Americans" and my father and his classmates were beaten in school for speaking French. It's really interesting, and a bit sad, to see how much French people from my father's, and your grandmother's generation have changed.
      Justin Wilson was actually an exaggerated caricature of Cajuns, which was his shtick. Just like most ethnic caricatures, he was somewhat accurate but not quite, lol.

      *What is the Gospel?*
      The true gospel is the good news that God saves sinners. Man is by nature sinful and separated from God with no hope of remedying that situation. But God, by His power, provided the means of man’s redemption in the death, burial, and resurrection of the Savior, Jesus Christ.
      Ephesians 2:8-9
      For it is by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of GOD, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.
      Romans 10:9
      9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

      When I visited friends in South Louisiana they told me Cajuns do not talk like Justin Wilson. It's an act, and the Cajun people don't care for it. It's like people thinking that everyone in the Ozarks and Appalachia talk like Jed Clampett.

    I went to LSU in the early 70's, and I used to watch his show, just to hear him talk. He was a great chef; but also had a touch of comedy. Definitely a big fan of Justin. I guarontee ! I'm hungry just watching this episode !

    We had one small TV with 4 channels and an antenna wrapped in tin foil and I'd tune it to channel 8 just to watch him and listen to his stories.
    Love and miss those times. Thank you for the great memories, Justin.
