when we were in nola this spring we all fell in love with red beans and rice, enough so that I have been trying to clone it with little to no success! are the beans red kidney or are they small red beans? that may be my problem. seeing your real deal coonazz you will know more than a cook book. pls help

hey foam, got back from nola this week. wow that town is crazzzzzyyy. stayed at st. phillips in the quarter, quirky kool little hotel. pat obriens was the best place i found in the quarter proper. got out some in nola and had the creole classics. think i like cajun a little better. next trip im going to baton rouge or lafayette. too old for new orleans! will miss the bennys at cafe du monde though.

your a rock star!! gonna fly rod some red fish when im down, that is when im not eating south la out of food. guess im road tripping to get some real boudin cause i cant leave without having tried it!!! like going to kentucky and not getting some mutton or ham. Not recommended.

hey foam, Im taking my oldest girl to new orleans week after mardi gras to eat our way through the city. we are going for food and culture not to party in tourist traps. any recommendations? I am sooooo gonna eat fresh boudin till i get sick the first thing off the plane, any real deal spots you say i will go to. so excited about this one.

For your picnic ham, you used a peach glaze. Would you share that recipe for that?? Not sure I'm excited about adding ginger to the mix... thoughts?

I was changing servers and got your message re Thanksgiving but it was lost in switch over. Thanks for the good wishes and I hope you have lots to be thankful for!

Hey Foam, I am originally from Belle Chasse LA. I lived in LAfayette for several years where I went to college at ULL. I now live outside Wichita Ks. I cant get good sausage or TAso here so took up smoking meats to make my own. (Mostly from Venison) do you have a taso seasoning recipie you might shar I havent found one yet. I buy an Andouille seasoning from Excallibur saesonings that is serviceable however.

Hey Kevin! You okay with all this flooding?
