Catfish Head Stew

February 13, 2023 by George Graham 29 Comments

Catfish Head Stew

On a crisp, cool Friday morning on my way to Eunice, Louisiana, to stock up on my favorite garlic smoked sausage at my friend Kermit Lejeune’s smokehouse, I drove past a little market on the highway heading west out of Opelousas. I did not have seafood on my mind, but it was the colorful exterior…

Crawfish Baked Potato

Crawfish Baked Potato

I know many of you will agree that nothing goes better with a thick, juicy steak than a baked potato. I’ve been to the fanciest steakhouses in all the land and when it comes to the perfect side dish, I’ll order a baked potato–loaded, for sure–every time. Oh, I’ve tried the creamed spinach, the frou-frou…

Ponce Upon A Time: Sweet Potato-Stuffed Smoked Ponce

Long ago the French came to the bayous of Louisiana and brought with them a vast wealth of recipes.  Over generations of influence, the tastes and flavors of most of those Cajun recipes have evolved.  These classic Cajun recipes and the artisan skills that go into Louisiana’s culinary cultural uniqueness are fascinating to me.  The…

The Long, Hot Simmer: Soulful Chicken Soup

January 9, 2023 by George Graham 18 Comments

The Long, Hot Simmer: Soulful Chicken Soup

Most every food culture takes pride in their version of chicken soup. It is as basic and fundamental a recipe as cooking gets. But, most folks haven’t a clue to how exceptionally delicious–no, heavenly–this dish can be. To learn the skill of making a rich, sublime soup of nothing more than chicken, vegetables, and water…

Roast Beef Po’boy

November 28, 2022 by George Graham 75 Comments

Roast Beef Po’boy

Growing up in South Louisiana, po’boys were just about as common as hamburgers are today. In small towns back then, we didn’t have a burger chain on every corner. It was mostly mom-and-pop sandwich shops and greasy spoon cafés that put out their home-cooked specialties, especially a down-home Louisiana roast beef po’boy. I grew up…

Louisiana Oyster Loaf

With one bite of this classic New Orleans recipe – Louisiana Oyster Loaf – I am transported back to a long ago time when simplicity reigned in Creole cooking.  It is a basic recipe that elevates Louisiana oysters to spiritual heights.

Tomahawk Ribeye

October 31, 2022 by George Graham 30 Comments

Tomahawk Ribeye

Now and then, I must seek out the thickest cut of beef I can find for a manly meal. It is a primal urge. Cooking steaks portioned in gargantuan slabs are not really about the quantity of the meat, but rather it is all about the quality of the outcome. Let me explain. Over the…
