Somethin' to Chew On

I was born and raised in Baton Rouge, the capitol city in southeastern Louisiana (near New Orleans). Cooking is part of the trinity of the Southern Louisiana lifestyle - music, food, and politics (not necessarily in that order). And that trinity pretty well sums up this Southern boy's passions. So, in addition to sharing my music with you, I want to break some bread with you, too. 'Cause that's just what friends do. >>>
