“Thank goodness I’m ambidextrous; I’m left handed with both hands.” I loved this show and this guy. No drama, no music, no suspense, no laugh track, just a guy who loves what he does and an audience you hardly know is there until they start genuinely reacting to his funny, ironic, or relatable comments. Always grateful that he now exists on TH-cam.
@@kenholt8297 hahah I can’t disagree, but theres really no balance anymore. There’s no Bob Ross, Mr. Rogers, Justin.. hell even Martha and Snoop Dog was slow drip entertainment. Idk anyone that actually sat and watched this like it was The Price is Right 🤣 but it was comforting background noise that still managed to be entertaining while u got things done.. like laundry or cooking or drawing… So I agree. We need them Karens for laughs and to help check ourselves from Time to time 🤣🤣🤣 Not the same tho. TLDR: ur rite ur rite. Not really the same tho 😆😭🤷🏻♀️
i met him in 81 when he came to the base theater. he was really funny and came out into the crowd afterwards and met everyone personally. very nice man and a great cook.
Growing up in South Louisiana, he was a cultural icon and we enjoyed his show, but his TV character was just that... a bit he played. Between him, and Paul Prudhomme, they introduced the world to our cooking and our culture.
I remember seeing him growing up in the 80’s. This was back when television actually taught you things and this is so nostalgic. I’m so glad I was born then!
Now, this was a man that I sure loved to watch in the kitchen! Just made me remember how GOOD the SIMPLE things were back then. RIP Sir and you are TRULY missed!!!🙏🏾😌👌🏾👍🏾🕊❤️
My first cooking show i watched on Wish cooking shows were still like rhis todday . He was the best .. He was genuine ..RIP Justin Wilson Thank you for youe matveloys recipes your humor and your wit. Never met you but my mom did many mamy years ago . .
As a kid visiting my grandfather, he would watch this and I didn't quite "get" it. Now I do. Thanks, Papa, for introducing me to the delightful Justin Wilson.
My father watched this man all the time. He would try his recipes and cook for us. They were outstanding, I believe Mr. Wilson would have been proud. I hope he is cooking for my dad in Heaven. RIP Mr. Wison and Daddy.
I used to live about 45 minutes from him when I was a kid. I loved watching him on TV growing up and I love being able to go back and watch all these episodes now as an adult!! Great memories and recipes!!! 💜💜💜💜🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷
My husband (soon to be, at the time) and I saw this originally aired after being up all night. We didn't have any buttermilk or I would've made them right then, garontee! I'm puttin' buttermilk on my grocery list now! I always remembered seeing that. I'm glad this video was preserved. Thanks!
I remember being very young and seeing my Mom, whom has past away 4 years ago now last April, watching this show and cooking some of the amazing dishes which came out so goooooood 🤤… I have so many beautiful memories of Her prepare these amazingly delicious dishes. Thank you for posting them. 🙏🏾
I declare, I never would have remembered this man if a video of him hadn't showed up in my recommended. What a great memory! Watched him on my local PBS station and loved the way he talked. A bit like me, but different.
Yeah, whole episodes are better. It's a shame they cut the episodes up like this. Especially to the point where we don't even get to see the finished result.
My grandfather acted just like him, except he was from TN. His paternal grandmother was a Wilson, maybe they are related somehow who knows. But, everyone loved him. He was funny also and would tell us funny stories and jokes. He talked to us like an adult, even though we were kids. He was so smart, there was nothing he couldn't do or make or build.
I remember the original broadcast. He burned the biscuits and threw them against the wall in a fit of rage. When the audience began to laugh, I believe he said, “Y’all gonna burn in hell. I Gar-on-tee.” After he flipped off the audience, he was escorted off the stage by security. It was his last show.
I remember Justin Wilson! He's the reason I say, "garonetee" Lol aww brings back some memories I had forgotten about. So good to see and hear him again. Thank you! Happy Father's Day y'all!
I grew watching him as well with my dad. What makes it even more nostalgic is the hum and whistle you hear from an old Analog tv..ahh the good Ole days
As a northerner I had not heard of this guy until I saw how much Kent Rollins the "Cookin Cowboy' respected him and looked up to him as a boy. Any man who is so beloved by a personal hero of mine is ok in my book. Thanks Justin, I never knew you in life but your legacy continues in chefs and cooks across generations and locations
He and Julia child were the first two shows I remember watching as a kid. The first recipe I ever tried was a salad dressing Justin made. I was probably 8 and writ down the ingredients in a little note pad. I loved that show.
Used my leftover biscuits yesterday to make fresh strawberry bread pudding. My mama always made this with biscuits and we all loved it. The strawberries were my idea. 🍓
The strawberry shortcake I grew up with consisted of hot, buttered biscuits layered up (after they cooled) with crushed, sweetened strawberries. Let it set for an hour or so before serving and it will develop a unique flavor. Good whipped cream or ice cream on top makes it even better!
Justin’s daughter lived in the next parish to my grandparents. Sometimes, he’d drop by the seed store with his son-in-law. Very little work got done when word got around that he was there. At that time, Jerry Clower was a fertilizer salesman. On the days when Wilson and Clower were both at the seed store the entire male population of the parish flocked to the seed store.
IMO, all the cooking shows on TV need to thank The OG, Justin Wilson, for their success. Brings back memories of my papa & I watching him on TV. Though I’m not a fan of onions, I still thought the way he said “onion” was one of my favorite parts of the show.
Aw man, it makes me think of my grandma's delicious butter milk biscuits with a piece of cured ham, I mean real cured ham. I'm so mad at the fact you can't buy sausage links or truly traditional smoked, cured ham at the store without water in it. At least molasses and butter still go good with biscuits.
Thank goodness we still have country cured ham where I live. I buy a whole cured ham and have it sliced. There are places in the country that still make the sausage and cure meat. I grew upmon a farm and we did our own. We he has a big smokehouse and it was always filled with whole cured hams hanging, back , smoked sausages, etc. Wonderful times!
@@debbieroland1677 It seems those days are gone forever now, but as you've stated it can still be found. In those days everyone raised their own hogs in the country and did their own hog slaughtering. When I was a kid, my Grandparents would keep tins of cracklin in the smoke house, so when we wanted a snack, we would get a hand full at a time and keep playing. No potato chips or candy bars back then.
Always loved to watch Justin just for the accent! as a new bride, lo these many years ago, my MIL told me she made hers with just self-rising flour and evaporated milk. She lied. I did learn to make my own biscuit by trial and error and finally got it right. Even my husband's brothers approved. They told me later that their mom never could make biscuit, but their grandma made the best, her own mom. But MIL thought hers were just like mama's. Never knead it, don't roll it too thin, that's the secret.
About 65 years ago, my uncle was driving his trailer to an oil rig in Louisiana, in the middle of the night when the trailer brakes caught the whole thing on fire. Another guy stopped and helped him put out the fire. It was Justin Wilson and apparently as a safety engineer, he'd fought more than a few fires around oil wells.

Drama is the best! What's life without entertaining Karens and Darens? It would be boring!

Justin Wilson cooking, and Bob Ross painting....... YUP!! Those were the days........ :)
Damn straight....and yankee work shop
Sitting here on a Saturday morning hanging out with Justin. Just like I did way back when. A great way to start a weekend.
Justin Wilson and a rainy Saturday morning was ultimate relaxation.
Chauvin here!
@@TheAutumnWind_RN4Lyou got that right my friend👍hardly ever missed a Saturday morning with Justin Wilson. MAN, I miss those days...
I guarantee, woo!
Miss those PBS Saturday and Sunday schedules.

Ok, i always wondered if that was just an exaggeration
I remember seeing him growing up in the 80’s. This was back when television actually taught you things and this is so nostalgic. I’m so glad I was born then!
I remember watching him on tv with my dad. We both loved him. So much fun to watch. Thanks for posting these clips. Really made my day,
Me too. Watch with my farther
Me too. ❤
He was a “segregationist” also!
@@kelj4517 There seems to be more segregation going on these days.
Me too!! Brings back great memories ❤
Now, this was a man that I sure loved to watch in the kitchen! Just made me remember how GOOD the SIMPLE things were back then. RIP Sir and you are TRULY missed!!!🙏🏾😌👌🏾👍🏾🕊❤️
I love when he goes "hoooo"
This man made watching recipes fun. Good food, good times. Thanks for bringing him back to us.
My first cooking show i watched on
Wish cooking shows were still like rhis todday . He was the best ..
He was genuine ..RIP Justin Wilson
Thank you for youe matveloys recipes your humor and your wit. Never met you but my mom did many mamy years ago . .
My paw paw would always say "Yess-sirr-eeee" and would reference Justin Wilson often. I miss that so much!
I remember watching him on PBS as a kid. One of the earliest inspirations for my cooking.
@@mikechickenman ya ya ya, but he’s still an awesome chef!!

Thanks!
He taught me how to cook in the beginning. Still the best on screen chef of all time. Couldn’t wait to see his next show .
I'd love to go back in time and be in this audience!
Me too such great memories!
PBS every Saturday morning.
Me too
What a great catchphrase “I guarantee” and a great story teller.
I loved watching him as a kid, haven't watched him in decades. He just entertained me as a 50 year old just as much as he did as a teenager.

😢
I remember Justin from when l was a young adult. Fond memories of watching his cooking show! ❤👍🇨🇦
Same. I gar-on-tee!
Watching this brings back memories. RIP Grandma
I love him. He was so full of joy and life.
There's only one Justin Wilson. So glad I ran across these videos. He's surely missed!
I declare, I never would have remembered this man if a video of him hadn't showed up in my recommended. What a great memory! Watched him on my local PBS station and loved the way he talked. A bit like me, but different.
I had an uncle who cut solid shortening into the flour with two table knives, one in each hand.
Whatever the method, the results were superb.
My favorite cooking show ever..I was 14 yrs old watching him..I still follow his recipes
This goes out to all of us that grew during the 80's! I use to watch this show at my granny's house!!
Justin Wilson is a Cajun legend, I guarantee!❤❤❤❤❤
Wasn't he born in Mississippi?
Ive never watched this guy before, but I could watch him all day. Hes funny and relaxed. Sounds like he is straight from the bayou
Yeah, these are all chopped up and they cut out the stories though. If you can find whole episodes it's worth looking.
Yeah, whole episodes are better.
It's a shame they cut the episodes up like this. Especially to the point where we don't even get to see the finished result.
Life was better with Justin Wilson

I used to watch this fella all the time when I was younger!
Where in the world is the end of the video... I wanted to see Justin's biscuits!
That's what I said...what nut case stopped recording and didn't show the COOKED BISCUITS???
They looked amazing. I guarantee!
@@indiakant4796IKR?!!!😭

A simpler time. I used to love watching cooking shows as a kid. Justin was awesome.
Justin was the first chef i saw on television and somehow he inspired me to develop a passion for cooking. Thank you sir for your contributions.

That certainly took me back to my childhood and gave me some good old warm and fuzzy feelings "I guarantee.....I'll tell ya"
My daddy loved hearing this man talk!
He and Julia child were the first two shows I remember watching as a kid. The first recipe I ever tried was a salad dressing Justin made. I was probably 8 and writ down the ingredients in a little note pad. I loved that show.
Mr. Wilsons’ show was just kind-hearted fun ; just like he was . 😢
This man is the reason i become interested in cooking. I watched him in Saturdays in PBS when i was a little kid.

I imagine there was terbacker chawin, ball scratchin' and the tallest stories in the world getting told theyah.
@@professornuke7562 Each would try to outdo the other -- so I reckon respect for the strict letter of the truth was not observed.
I remember watching Justin back when I was a teenager on TV. I am 63 now. Its great he is still available on YT!😎
Justin Wilson (Passed 2001) and Graham Kerr (89) were so fun to watch and good teachers.
I learned how to use fresh garlic, herbs, and wine from Kerr. Objects you never saw in my house growing up.
Thank you, always loved this guy. Still makes me want to smile and cook.
Haven't seen his show in many years. Always enjoyed it.
Hoo we, I guarantee we love Justin Wilson.
I watched him make a wonderful pasta salad yesterday and made it after watching him. It was so good!!
I loved this dude when I was a kid!!! He taught me so much about cooking! Merci, mon ami!
I learned to cook watching this show growing up.
But my wife's biscuits are the best I've ever tasted
And I've tried lots lol
He’s helping me learn the Cajun accent for my latest dnd character lol. Love this guy
Sort of like bringing you up to the cliffhanger ending and then the electricity goes out.
Biscuits....biscuits all the time! Louisiana misses you Justin 😢
He was a figure ill never forget. I remeber as a kid watching him. Not knowing how to cook a lick, but loved watching him talk and create.
IMO, all the cooking shows on TV need to thank The OG, Justin Wilson, for their success. Brings back memories of my papa & I watching him on TV. Though I’m not a fan of onions, I still thought the way he said “onion” was one of my favorite parts of the show.
Wow I'll be 52 and September and this is a flashback from the past right alongside The Carol Burnett show
Justin Wilson just takes me back to my childhood.
Blessing to those of us who were fortunate enough to have seen or heard this unique human being...awesome to see him again..😅
loved watching his cooking show back in the day, his jokes were always funny
I was watching him cook way before the Food Network! The man can flat-out cook!!!!
This guy was super entertaining on TV back in the day! Always looked forward to his Saturday morning segment on PBS.
Pre hotted!!! I love his sayings
I wanted to see the biscuits come out of the oven
I LOVED watching Justin on a weekend morning! I still have all his old standup comedy audio tapes.
Classic and undeniably good😋
I'll be making these! Thank you.
Back in the '80s the local KERA would have Justin Wilson on and my whole family would watch him. Great memories.
I sure miss watching him. He always made me laugh.
Peaceful.
My nanny knight (great grandmother) used to make em with every meal. They were epic. She was epic. Miss those good ole days.
Every time I see him I'm transported back to 1985 in my life
What a personality. And what a cook. True talent. Compare this to modern food shows. We are devolving as a society. All the way down to food shows.
Aw man, it makes me think of my grandma's delicious butter milk biscuits with a piece of cured ham, I mean real cured ham. I'm so mad at the fact you can't buy sausage links or truly traditional smoked, cured ham at the store without water in it. At least molasses and butter still go good with biscuits.

You can still order them in the old style
Maybe you could make your own? Your grandma probably did.

Awesome biscuits! I have struggled to make biscuits for years. This recipe is awesome.
My Mom and Dad are from Ohio and retired down to Florida, but they enjoyed watching this show on the Florid Public Education TV

I miss him a great cook and makes u laugh Amen RIP Justin
My granddad use to make the best biscuits, I wished I paid attention 😇
I bought his cookbooks, loved the show too!!
Truely miss Mr. Wilson
The only thing missing from this video is his daily joke about Boudreau and Thibodeau
Pre hotted lol
Cajun sounds like, French and southern black accent mixed. Love it! Watched him as a child ❤
Love everything about this. My Pepere used to closely approximate Justin. A better time fo' sho.

Justin was the "smoker" King! Meats were great as he was a teacher. 🎉
l use to love to watch his show, not so much for the cooking but for that Cajun accent.
I still call onions un-YAWNS because of this man.
I Love this guy! Remember watching him when I was a kid. But, but, but...we didn't get to see those baked biscuits 😕 when they came out of the oven
Nostalgia. Thanks Justin.
One of my favorite shows of all time.
I have absolutely no intentions of making biscuits. I watched this video just to hear Chef Wilson speak and to entertain. "I gare-own-tee!"
