Justin Wilson the Cajun cook

Before everyone on tv was a CHEF, there were cooks.
Titles were not needed for great food.
Before the food groupies (shudders by the very word foodies) there were normal folk looking for good food. Justin Wilson was the crazy old guy who introduced me to cajun cooking. He and Paul Prudhomme were my inspiration to try complicated meals.
Justin had a way about him. You could barely understand him, but he managed to get his point across. By today's standard he would never be an Iron Chef or strut around like Bobby Flay, but he would still be worthy of watching.
I am glad that he was there to inspire me.
