Off topic, unless you want to consider him honorary Iron Chef Cajun,
but since he's been mentioned in the group in the past I thought it
worth posting:


Host of cajun cooking show dead at 87

(Summit, Mississippi-AP) -- A famed cajun T-V chef has died.

Justin Wilson was 87. His daughter says Wilson died yesterday in Baton
Rouge, Louisiana.

Wilson released 27 albums of short stories and an album of Christmas
songs, and hosted a Cajun cooking program.

The show ended about three years ago.

He is best known for the phrase "I guarantee it."

I think he definitely should be considered "honorary Iron Chef Cajun."

A sad day. He'll be missed, and his work in bringing the unique culture of
Louisiana to the rest of the country (and the world) will assure him a
place in history.

I really liked Justin Wilson's show. I loved his funny stories. Like, one
time he was talking about someone being afeared of snakes in the Bayou and
he told them not to worry about no snakes. "Dere ain't snake numbah ONE in
dat watah. De ALLIGATORS done et 'em all."

"HOOboy, Ah GAR-ON-TEE!"

Now he's cooking up a storm in Heaven!

Love,
ROBOT

Personally, I think he'd have been amused. And I could see he and Sakai
doing Battle Crawfish, both of them having more fun than is legal...

Justin Wilson was a man who cooked most of his life, but it was not until
he'd retired from civil service that he did his cooking shows and comedy
act. Proof that life can begin after fifty...

Justin called himself a cook, never a chef. Besides introducing Cajun
cooking to the world, he also got quite a few men into the kitchen. He was
about as nice in person as he was on television, and was as beloved here in
South Louisiana as you could ever be. Even if he lived in Mississippi the
last few years...

Farewell, Justin...
