- Probably means Lee and Perrin Worchestershire Sauce. That's all I can think of, and would probably be an ingredient in Dirty Rice...

- Im hoping someone here can help with one of Justins recipe's and something i can not find for it. I am trying to find and i know i will spell this wrong so forgive the spelling Leon Paran i think thats out it is spelled.

- I have been searching for this cook for a couple of years. I knew his first name, but never knew his last name. My grandaughter remembers Justin when she was smaller. I always remember the stories he would tell.He was a very lovable chareater. I should never forget him.

- Although I am from New Jersey, my husband is from New Orleans. My father-in-law and I spent many afternoons watching Justin Wilson's cooking shows. This was our time together when my husband and mother-in-law were busy with other activities. I do like my wine and discovered new ways to cook with it while watching Justin! I have a family recipe website Cooking New Orleans Style containing recipes that my in-laws lost during hurricane Katrina. This is a great Lens for me to reference.

- He "partied" in some of the same circles with my parents in Baton Rouge in the late 40's early 50's. He borrowed my little brother's nursery rhyme book when I was a child. Told my mom he was going to make a record of nursery rhymes, cajun style. Closest he came was (one) Little Bo Peep on flip side of Grandma's Lye Soap. He never gave the book back, but years later (late 60's)when I lived in Warner Robbins, Ga, he was coincidentally guest speaker at an Engineers Banquet in Macon. He seemed quite delighted to see me, and struck up conversation several times before dinner asking about my mom (who I believe he kind of had a crush on) and my dad, who he had always called "Slick" because of his hair style. I, of course, caught his cooking show many times, which I especially enjoyed, having known the man.

- Bon soir Cher,
I really enjoyed Joostan's cooking show and still get to see it from time to time. I am a Cajun too, and I live in North Central Alabama. I am what Joostan would call a transplant. We are originally from LaFayette parish in Louisana. I sure miss dat ami, and hope you keep up his legacy. Him was a great man and a blessin to us Cajuns.
