I grew up in Louisiana. We have red beans and rice, and there's a Popeye's on every corner.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I get down to Louisiana, I get to have a taste of some of that great food.
I grew up in Louisiana - a little suburb right outside of New Orleans - and I wouldn't have it any other way!
My food is Louisiana, New Orleans-based, well-seasoned, rustic. I think it's pretty unique because of my background being influenced by my mom, Portuguese and French Canadian. There's a lot going on there.
The only thing that can ever make a Louisiana boy feel better is Popeye's.
I grew up in Doraville, Georgia and I ate barbecued ribs and chicken fried steak, and all kinds of cheesy grits, you know, and I never even thought twice about it.
I've always had an interest in Louisiana, especially New Orleans.
I love Louisiana, and I love being from there.
New Orleans has a lot of good food.
In '71 or '72 I returned to New Orleans and stayed there. I started cooking Louisiana food. Of all the things I had cooked, it was the best-and it was my heritage.
I'm from Georgia, and everybody gathers around food in the South.
