New Orleans Cajun, Justin Wilson - Gumbo

Me and my mom use to watch every day❤❤😊 after I got out of school.

Hope to get on a gumbo today or tomorrow. Been watching videos of "Zyustaan" lately and sure got a cravin' for some chicken/andouille gumbo. Got on eBay and bought Justin's "Gourmet and Gourmand" cookbook. Plan to use the "Rabbit/Squirrel" gumbo recipe only with chicken and andouille instead. Was going to use a dry white wine like Justin, but too expensive. Dry wine is "tart and acidic". So I thought, "tart and acidic....tomato juice!" So I plan to use tomato juice instead of wine.
If I remember, I'll update when it's all done and tried.

Him rapper Juvenile n Master P n dems accent all alike

Olive oil! Thats how ive always been tought to make roux but every recipe for roux these days say use anything but olive oil! Bs!

I would love to have someone in my family like that 💞

Justin is quite the character. But he didn't do the Holy Trinity! Shame, shame.

Classic Chef. Sure do miss him....
R.I.P. AMEN.

"SHICKEN" ❤️

Well shiver me timbers!!!! I’ve often thought of Mr.Justin and his show from the early 80s! I miss him so. His stories, accent and impeccable Cajun family recipes. Such an American treasure ❤❤❤.

The Real Deal ..Guaranty 💫

First you make a roux.
My motto.

"They sent da petroleum car with the syringe on full blast"
Channeling a bit of Norm Crosby there, Justin!

That looks awful. I make gumbo regularly, and this looks awful. Sure he's unique and colorful to listen to but it's all an act. Nobody talks like that, and hopefully nobody cooks like that. I've never heard an accent so silly (and I'm from rural south Louisiana). He's as much of a buffoon as Paula Deen, nobody has an accent like hers either. It's just goofy and insulting.

Man I miss this fella on TV I used to watch this with my grandpa as a kid

As a kid I remember flipping channels and catching myself stuck watching him.

Was it a thing to say onyong

Me and my dad would watch him on Saturday mornings. Along with the Frugal Gourmet.

He is a character. I give him that. As a chef, his skills are rubbish as his ability to cook. What we have here is cajun being cajun. Racist euphemisms not with standing

My French family came down from Canada way back when the people had to follow the English, they were thrown out and went to Louisiana. Can’t say what I am but I know I am half French and I love Cajun cooking especially chicken and rice

My granny and papa always watched him! I remember!

Sorry Justin but that rue look burnt.

What kind of wine?

That man could sell ice to the Eskimos. I call his type of story telling and humor hustle humor.

So relaxing 😌

😂 yep.likely drunk more wine than the u.s.s. north carolina could have held and stay afloat.

I GHAR-rawn-TEE!

Rue is olive oil and what ???

True Cajun cook indeed

I Gar on tee

He wasn't a real Cajun

I have the courage to attempt this recipe and will do, my friend! Respect.🤲🏿

❤❤ Brings me back to the good times.❤

Set look familiar? Nice set. Yesss, yess. SF/EF

Love the vintage kitchen. All those appliances would likely still work today.

True Cajuns couldn't stand this fake

Pbs on Sunday relaxing after lunch in the mid 90s

I love shicken !

He has the kind of voice that would narrate old folk tales don't he?

Let's put sssome....SHIII-cken! 😏😏😏🍑

I love this man, grew up watching him, and of course he greatly influenced my particular gumbo! (which you can see on my channel...yes shameless self promotion... ). However, I must insist that if you don't put okra in your gumbo, you didn't make gumbo, you just made stew.

Never seen a roux that black before

He was a very good storyteller

That's the darkest roux I have ever seen!!!!

He would cook this big pot of gumbo the he would sit at the table with a glass of wine and eat a bowl of gumbo he had charm

My dad is gone to the other side. Wee enjoyed his show so much. Although, Dad made a huge batch recipe of catfish fillet, and the exact recipe. It was horrible, 😆.

the closed captions for Mr Wilson are hilarious! I used to watch him all the time when I was stationed in Ft Polk. His stories remind me of my maternal grandpa.

I remember Justin saying, " It don't matter what type of wine (Red or White) you drink with meat, cause the meat don't know" 😂😂😂😂 Truth!!!

"I use wine when I make my gumbo......"

Me too! When I make gumbo I substitute half of the beef or chicken stock with inexpensive merlot. It adds body and extra flavor. In addition to the onion, I add some of the rest of the "trinity"; green pepper and celery, and some sliced okra. Served over brown rice, man you can't beat it!

Justin was irreplaceable. Authentic Cajun, a wonderful cook and a great story teller.
