Thread: Places to eat?

I grew up watching Justin cook on public television in Kentucky and he was a huge inspiraton to the style and flavors I use in my cooking to this day. He is sadly missed.

I used to watch him every Saturday on Louisiana PBS. His show was great and I loved his stories.

I tried a local place here in foley called Galeto Joes it has everything seafood ,steaks pasta and the best home made deserts ,,,well worth the money

My momma made her gumbo with chicken and sausage, I always figured it was because I'm allergic to shrimp. Don't claim to know much about gumbo, but would give almost anything to get to sit down with her again and visit while we ate some. Don't guess the ache ever goes away.

Justin Wilson....that takes you back. Wouldn't be a "dash" or cup of wine, would it? oke1:

BTW, his gumbo recipe/video is on youtube.

He always took a pull off the jug of wine and said' "If it ain't good enough to drink, it ain't good enough to cook with."

ETA - and I have always followed that bit of advice much to the benefit of my recipes

Mr. Wilson had taste and talent. And an entertaining way of teaching me things.

Oh yeah, he was WAYYYY to descriminating to ever drink wine out of a jug.

:headbang:

And his table was ALWAYS set with that 'elegant' red-checkered tablecloth 8)

Of course he could 'step it up' when he really wanted to... :P

Anyway, back on topic:
Desoto's is THAT kinda place!

Way cool to see those images again. That cookbook was one of my favorite gifts to close friends that loved to cook. Nothing in it for me, of course.

Mikee's has the BEST blackened fresh fish (snapper, grouper, AJ, trigger) I have ever eaten. I recommend you give them a shot.
