If you watch Emeril Live (and who doesn’t?) you’ve probably seen him make this dish. As a naturalized Cajun, Emeril knows how to make this stuff well! And I learned how from him. After all, we’re bestest buds now that I stood in line for seven hours to get one of his books autographed [...]
Mud bugs are the national crustacean of Louisiana. They’re boiled, fried, steamed, put into stews and soups, and otherwise consumed with a passion that surpasses all reason. Heck, even my spouse likes them, and she’s never been to Louisiana. (At least not that she’ll admit.) Believe me, it’s an acquired taste. If you’ve acquired [...]
Okay, let’s get right to it. There’s no way we’d be allowed to hold Cajun & Creole Cuisine Month without at least one jambalaya recipe. It’s a very old rule (which somebody just made up). It’s probably even illegal; or at least fattening. So, we’re doing jambalaya first. First, the history. (You DO come by [...]

At least the first one will… Bradenton, Florida A man was arrested attempting to steal shrimp from a supermarket. Joseph Young, age 32, was observed “with bulging pants” by detective Robert Stevenson who was shopping at a Sweebay [...] Today is my darling brides’ birthday. (I’d tell you how old, but then we’d need a new blog writer for the Underground.) I’ll keep this short; we’ve got places to go and parties to crash! Here’s a seafood dish for tomorrow, if you’re of the persuasion: Spicy Shrimp With Red Devil Sauce At first, the preparation may appear [...] No, I’m not opening a branch of the Church of the Underground. However, I’m giving you plenty of advance warning: Today’s dishes are about as zesty-hot as they can get without being puréed Bhut Jolokias.
