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!!!!
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.
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.
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.
