My Creole & Cajun Recipe Page

This is my blog dedicated to New Orleans & Louisiana cooking! I'll give links to great Creole & Cajun recipes and sites, as well as some of my own recipes. I love talkin' New Orleans, food and otherwise! Incidentally, I'm from Detroit. Go Figure. Lets just say I figured out "what it means, to miss New Orleans" and this site helps ease the pain.

Great Chefs of New Orleans: Austin Leslie at Nola Cuisine

. Great Chefs of New Orleans: Austin Leslie Austin Leslie, the beloved “Godfather of Fried Chicken,” was a true New Orleans culinary legend whose Creole-Soul cooking at Chez Helene and later Jacques-Imo’s captured the heart and flavor of the city. From humble beginnings delivering fried chicken on a bicycle to inspiring the TV show Frank’s Place, Leslie’s career was marked by unmatched skill, big personality, and a deep love for feeding people. His signature fried chicken, topped with garlic-parsley persillade and a dill pickle slice, became iconic, and his impact on Creole cuisine lives on well beyond his passing in 2005. This tribute celebrates his life, legacy, and the flavors that made him unforgettable, along with a recreation of his legendary fried chicken recipe
