About this ebook
Laugh-out-loud Louisiana-flavored tales from the storytelling Southern chef!
Known just as widely for his boisterous, quirky stories and comedy albums as for his popular Cajun cuisine and PBS cooking shows, Justin Wilson presents his second collection of tales in More Cajun Humor. Written in dialect, these tales revolve around the lives of quick-witted farmers, determined deer hunters, and diehard football fans—people who could be your neighbors and friends, especially if you live in Louisiana, and especially if you’re the exceptionally neighborly and friendly Justin Wilson—a man who never lets a good story go by.
Have you heard the one about the high-jumping bear hunter? It’s a good one, I ga-ron-tee! Charming and down-to-earth, Wilson delighted audiences throughout the country for many decades, and this collection gives a delicious taste of his trademark humor.
“I know of no one [else] who portrays the Louisiana Cajun as well, so skillfully and entertainingly.” —Harnett T. Kane, author of Queen New Orleans
Justin Wilson
During his lifetime, Justin Wilson was much more than a Louisianan chef. In fact, for much of his life, he didn't consider himself a chef. Wilson was the first to say that he was a Cajun cook-not a chef. He was a humorist-not a comedian-who appeared on television programs across the country, including The Tonight Show. Born in 1914, Wilson started his career as a safety engineer, who traveled across the state to give lectures to refinery workers. During these lectures, Wilson realized that he had a talent for telling Cajun humor, and from there, his career as a humorist grew. Wilson appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show and began to tell stories and cook Cajun cuisine for a living. Wilson learned much of what he knew about cooking from his Cajun mother. He took that knowledge, developed his personal cooking style, and helped to pioneer the Cajun food craze that caught the country by storm when he appeared at the ABA in 1974. Politically active, Justin Wilson became one of Louisiana's most iconic men in the twentieth century. He spent more than three decades producing cookbooks, entertaining people of all ages with his jokes, and teaching people from Los Angeles to New York how to cook Cajun. His twenty-seven comedy albums have charmed audiences everywhere, at one point even outselling Elvis Presley! Wilson died in 2001 in Pike County, Mississippi.
