That crispy skin bite! I want to eat this in real life!
Very interesting. Keep 'em coming!
Marksville, La. is NOT deep in the heart of Cajun Country. It's well north of Cajun country/Acadiana! Marksville is North Louisiana. Cajuns in Acadiana refer to that as the OTHER Louisiana, really the part that should be given to Mississippi,
Lord have mercy!💞
Great show Bryan! I look forward to more shows.
This looks like a great experience. Thanks for sharing. I hope Brian brings the recipes to ATK. He always does a great job, in particular his Texas brisket was awesome. Thanks!
Awww! Bryan looks like you fun, doing what you love, while visiting my state!
Puerto Rico does is better
what would happen if I tried to hook this up in front of my fireplace at home
😅
Yummy!!
This looks like a regular LSU tailgate!
Good dirty rice is hard to find outside of Louisiana. I have a real issue with dirty rice not using chicken gizzards, as a lot of folks tend to use in middle TN. That's not "dirty rice" to me. Locally we had a Cajun restaurant open in my town and my wife and I went: nope, it was a zero. Boo. They used some kind of processed sliced linked sausage in their "dirty rice", it was actually gross. Six months later it was closed. So good to see folks here carrying on a tradition with authentic ingredients.
Super video. Hope to see some recipes like these on Cook's Country.
I've always been taught that it's the organ meat that makes the rice dirty – hence dirty rice 🙂
We’ll be comin’ on down real soon!
I love how this iteration of the Onion's "Porkin' Across America" took a wholesome direction for season 2 and really focused on the food.
Most of the south is about family, community and food. Pretty much in that order. The closer you get to the city, the priorities get jumbled, but I've found that the rural midwest and rural cajun people might eat different food, but have one thing in common. They're respectful! If you're nice to them, they'll try to out nice you, but if you get crazy on them, they WILL out crazy you!
More videos like this! PLEASE!
Living here in New Orleans, I thought I saw a certain Senator. If I'm right, thanks for not mentioning his name. Also, you got the "ça c'est bon" pronunciation exactly right.
Always thought you would be great at doing this Bryan I’m so glad you’re on this road now, lol so to speak. Will be watching all of your wonderful episodes. Thank you
Awesome food prep & camaraderie. Wish I was there ! 🤠 Nice time !
Hi Bryan!! See you in a month!
Looks delicious, I’m already coming up with wine pairings! 😍
Wiggle wiggle!!! Loved this show, can’t wait for more.
Disgusting
Nope. No chicken innards for me.
That looked amazing and I wish all communities were just like that.
This was great to watch! I love all that food. I’ve been to New Orleans a couple times, but never to Cajun Country to experience this, hope one day I will!
While in the Navy in Meridian Mississippi, southern cooking was something that was amazing to try. I will eat everything from a pig, southern hospitality is something to experience. Screw politics, food is the true American bond…ain't no grub made without love.
Outstanding show!
Say Say Bon
Love the new series
Bryan!! Where's my plate buddy??
I thought Bryan Roof was from Louisiana? He acted "new" 🤷♀️?
I'm making chicken and sausage gumbo tomorrow. I'm almost out of Tony C's. Never without it. ever
Gluten free! Lol!
My man, Bryan! Great idea for a series! Looking forward to seeing where he goes next! 👍😃
Left side of the thumbnail looks like Oogie Boogie crossing his arms.
This was a great test kitchen
WHY ARE SO MANY SMERICANS FAT? That’s what I want to know!!!
Great show Bryan ( and crew)!
