    I met Chef Isaac as soon as I moved to New Orleans a few weeks before the pandemic and lockdowns started. Have never heard of him or his restaurant but they were giving out free meals to service industry, and he was out there handing out beers to us in line, taking photos with people and keeping the mood light. He's such an awesome guy, I love watching his videos on TH-cam now

    My grandfather was Cajun French. He didn't speak English until he was seven years old. He used to get beat in school for speaking his native tongue. Born to share cropper parents, he was the middle child of nineteen brothers and sisters, and his parents lost two sets of twins. They don't make men like him no more. He taught me the love of Cajun cooking, fishing, living off the land. He taught me to peel crawfish! I miss that man and my grandmother more than anything! C'est Bon!

But back then I did observe that it was actually very poor coming from Honolulu Hawaii, but where I am from very affluent, in the valley families had money so did my family and I am not boasting just be humble as I am Chinese Hawaiian 4th generation but I like a Chef by trade and I live and work in NYC and NYC is huge with many different types of people culture and cuisines which I love and with my culinary arts and education I basically can work anywhere at I enjoy talking to different CHEF'S about food and where they are from what state,basic background and talk about different recipes and where they have worked and doing what what capacity
