Cajun is country food by farmers and fisherman that arrived in Louisiana from Acadiana, Canada.

Some people absorb in different ways. I didn't realize until I was 15 years old how much I retained.

I opened my own restaurant when I was 17. I went broke, then traveled around the country, learning about different kinds of foods, had three other restaurants that went broke. It didn't all start just a few years ago!

What I think and what the world thinks is totally different.

I think the most wonderful thing in the world is another chef. I'm always excited about learning new things about food.

Have fun. Do something nobody else had done before, or has done since.

Creole is New Orleans city food. Communities were created by the people who wanted to stay and not go back to Spain or France.
