Great post - I have three of his cookbooks and used to watch him on his cooking show. Miss him. No one else could cook they way he did.
Thanks for the memories.

Love these golden jewels! I remember a friend of mine came to visit in Arkansas from New Jersy one year, and I took her out one night to a local restaurant. While studying the menu she asked, "Now, just what is a hushpuppy?" I "garonetee" she never forget this great Southern classic! Thanks for this Justin Wilson post!


I miss ol Justin, used to listen to his comedy on WWL New Orleans radio station when they played his record, then later when he came on tv with his recipes show....what a guy!!


I've never had a hush puppy. (Always thought they were shoes :P ) Maybe someday soon :)
