My grandpa was from Louisiana and he always watched this show. I remember grandpa being a slight “hater” too. As he watched Justin whip up his Cajun dishes, he could be heard saying to himself “I bet that don’t taste like nothing!” Then he would wave his hand 😩😩😩😩. Grandpa is gone now, but I watch Mr. Justin every now and again to bring a little piece of him back.
Lord, I can remember watching him on PBS on the weekend as a little kid and loving it sooo much! "I GuaronTee!" This was decades before the food network. Him and Julia were the damn best!
Him pouring salt into his hand, saying it's a tablespoon, and then pouring it into the tablespoon just to prove that it was indeed one full tablespoon has got to be the finest magic trick I have ever witnessed.
When I was about 4 or 5 I would watch him every day with my mom. Thanks for reminding me of better times this morning 46 years later. I needed to go back for a few minutes.
What he said towards the end about gumbo is true for all soups and stews. You cook it today, but don't serve it today. You put it in the fridge overnight, then take it out tomorrow, heat it up slowly until it's bubbling, and then serve it. Everything will have a chance to marinate in the seasonings overnight, and will taste loads better.
Yes, PatrickRsGhost ; CORRECTO ! But after refrigerating overnite, & briefly bubbling the next day ; LET IT SIT (covered) for at least a couple hours before serving to give it even more time to blend all the flavors..Yes, holds true for ALL stews & soups ; they should never be rushed ...
I miss this show! I think I got introduced to it because one Saturday, all of the Saturday morning cartoons had gone off and we didn’t have cable. Lol I started watching faithfully from that day.
OMG !! How wonderful someone brought back up his cooking episodes. My late grandmother used to watch his shows religiously. Not for the cooking. Just to hear him talk. She used to tell me if you ever want to know how my family and I spoke before we went to school all you have to do is listen to Justin (Wilson). My older family member's were born and raised near Red River, LA. So, they would have been very familiar with people speaking this way. Rest in peace, dear Mr. Wilson. Your stories, manners and influence live on.
Red River is pretty far North of the prairie lands where most Cajuns are from, and the Eastern areas where the Creoles are mostly from. But, just like all cultures, the French cultures weren't static, they blended East into Mississippi, West into the Houston area, and even North towards Arkansas and the Red River area where your family is from. Depending on when and where your grandmother came up and her ethnicity, she may be remembering a time when people were being forcefully assimilated into the greater Anglo culture of America, around the time people were punished and socially ostracized for speaking French. My grandfather used to call non-French people "Americans" and my father and his classmates were beaten in school for speaking French. It's really interesting, and a bit sad, to see how much French people from my father's, and your grandmother's generation have changed. Justin Wilson was actually an exaggerated caricature of Cajuns, which was his shtick. Just like most ethnic caricatures, he was somewhat accurate but not quite, lol.
My grandfather was Plain Dealing,right by the red river.He died wh I was young but I went down there,from the High Sierras, every summer,all summer. Cool times,and I definitely watched Justin,,,,,,Jimmy Houston too,he was a kid.
@@petrosspetrosgaliunless you are south of I10... You might not want to call 20 miles north of i10 in roseland "way up north" Me, that's way up north.
I once read that he'd been a "safety engineer" and used stories he'd heard in his travels to 'gain the audience's attention"@ the beginning of his safety lectures.
Justin's cooking show used to come on PBS on a Saturday afternoon in our area. It became a tradition for the whole family to stop whatever we were doing to watch this great man. Thanks for upload. He was the best!

The sad thing is not so much that he is gone but that modern networks would rarely (if ever) consider the classic chefs today, or any of the shows so many people remember the best; WIlson, Kerr, Childs, Yan, etc. All their charm and expertise as individuals are untouchable to the average marketing department now.

I went to LSU in the early 70's, and I used to watch his show, just to hear him talk. He was a great chef; but also had a touch of comedy. Definitely a big fan of Justin. I guarontee ! I'm hungry just watching this episode !
Hes the reason I use my hand to measure salt ,season by taste not by recipe and use Louisiana hot sauce on just about everything... Mr.Wilson ,Mr.Rodgers and Bob Ross on Oklahoma PBS in the 90s raised me ..As I didn't have a father figure and nana worked..now me and my 5 year old son get to watch them together.Thank you
That’s Cool! I used to watch in the 80’s ,when I lived in Tulsa, on PBS. He was the Best, I miss Him and Bob Ross,gone but never forgotten, they will live forever in Our hearts!!
The greatest personality on TV that I've ever seen. .loved to watch and listen to Mr. Wilson as he made my mouth water for the foods that he prepared, and laugh at the humor that he injected into his show.
I used to watch this with my dad every Saturday and my dad has cooked some mean gumbo every year for my birthday I am now 29 and I still love this gumbo thank you justin wilson and rest in peace!!!!
I love the way this man could communicate, my wife is Cajun, I use to say I was Italian, but after eating her cooking, I now claim I am Cajun! I gar-on-tee!
When I was younger I use to love to watch his shows especially with me being a southerner. I miss him so much. I loved his Cajun accent and his personality he was never boring to watch. RIP Mr. Wilson you will never be forgotten.
"Ah guarantee ya"❣️😘 I grew up watching you, and I'm about to make some gumbo. So I thought I'd come check you out Justin, for old time sakes... Rest In Peace Justin!
Just made a big batch of gumbo with chicken, sausage and shrimp. From scratch. Nice chocolate roux. Made me look for this video just to check my creds with him because, well, he's the master. I'm good. I followed his rules well. I learned from the master.
I sure loved watching this wonderful man. He was a part of my childhood T.V. programs. Loved to hear him talk. He's definitely made me smile and laugh. Loved those stories!! 😘🕆❤👣🌹🌹🌹😎☄
I’m from Louisiana, years ago when I was working in Illinois, a group of us went to breakfast after working the late shift. When the waitress came to take my order, I told her I wanted some bacon, eggs, and grits with butter. She looked at me like I was crazy and asked me “what’s a grit”? I don’t know who was more surprised, her for being asked something she never heard of, or me for her not knowing what grits were.
That's one.... one cup a wine. I always loved that part!!! LoL. Oh man, I remember when he passed and my grandmother who is a big time cooking was shocked that I knew who he was at a young age. 4get Saturday cartoons, I watched him and Ms. Lucy!!!!
This was the homie back in the day. I have great memories of watching this with my Mom on PBS, but now she's no longer with us. Thank you for posting this and triggering a great memory.
Years ago I used to watch Justin all the time loved his cooking loved his accent loved his jokes n just plain loved him one of the best then he took Cajun cooking Home for eternity 😇
This guy and Yan Can Cook were some of my favorite PBS shows when I was a young teen and learned I had a passion for cooking. My family were subjected to more than one expensive and only partially successful meals thanks to those two men. 😂
Damn I miss Justin Wilson I remember watching him on tv as a kid every afternoon at 1 on pbs right after bob Ross painting, wish he could come back an have another cooking show I miss the funny stories he would tell an no matter what everything needed wine lol
I really enjoyed his persona and shows, he automatically drew you in with his mannerisms, dialect and humor. A true culinary artisan to boot. I've made many of his recipes and have to say that he helped inspire me to cook and experiment.
OM goodness...my Mother's favorite program... So many times Mother, my 3 youngest sons and I gathered to watch Cookin Cajun... what great memories are attached to this sweet man... as my Aunt Jenny from N'Orleans would say .."have moecy"...❤
The Louisiana accent and culture remind me so much of the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad where I am from. The French influence that we both have in our cultures binds us
I watched him on our little TV as a kid... We had one small TV with 4 channels and an antenna wrapped in tin foil and I'd tune it to channel 8 just to watch him and listen to his stories. Love and miss those times. Thank you for the great memories, Justin.
After the good lord made Justin Wilson, he broke the mold. Once we lose folks like this they can never be replaced. Thanks Justin for the memories, laughter and great cookin!
The Emperor been cooking gumbo my whole life. I’d say you need to use butter, not olive oil, and that rue looks too dark. Might be the old film though. Rue should be the color of an old copper penny. He uses filé to thicken, but it can go stringy. Okra is better and adds that flavor. Justin didn’t like two things I know of. Okra and bay leaf.
@@helenhebert7127 Jeez HELEN...can you find anything else this man has done wrong???!!!for fucks sake if he woulda had you he may have been a great cook..huh??
My daddy and I watched this show every week together. We're from Tennessee but that's when my dad started saying onion and guarantee like Justin did. 🖤
Oh man, thanks so much for posting this.... I am missinng my dad big time, and him watching Mr. Wilson cookin' up some gumbo is one of my favorite memories. This sure brought some great memories back. Thank you!
So damn precious. My first exposure to south Louisiana culture!! I was born and raised in East Texas, but married my best friend in New Orleans in 2015 on Halloween. We lived in La for six years before moving back to Texas in 2016.
Just went and saw Deadpool and Wolverine, had Gambit on it he sounded exactly like Justin Wilson so had to come and watch this video in honor of Justin.
i watch his show all the time. i really miss this man. you learned so much and all the while you laughed and had fun. RIP justin, love and miss you chef
I was a child also watching Mr. Wilson with my grandmother. He was one of my favorite Louisiana cooks on pbs. I loved his accent and hearing him speak😄
We watched this every week..right after cartoons went off. His voice was always hypnotic even for kids.... what's great is ya people would speak similar to this at home(new orleans) ...so you understood and related to everything he said. Nothing better than Cajuns n Creoles❤
Me too. I love him and his recipes. Watched him on PBS before we had cable. Bought his cooking book, Outdoor Cooking With Inside Help. Taught me how to boil corn, cook gumbo, and make yeast rolls.
I remember waiting Justin Wilson when I was a kid, I always loved his show. The only thing worth a damn on Food Network is Good Eats reruns, Alton Brown is awesome!
Omg i watched this man every Saturday growing up. Man, this brought back memories. I so loved watching him. I didn't think I'd ever see any of his shows again. Thank you too whomever found and posted this here. This is a real treat
I have so many fond memories of watching this guy on PBS with my mom. Makes me happy to see him again. My mom still pronounces "onion" the way Justin Wilson does - "awn-yon."
I worked a few private events for this man...they were wild affairs and the food was amazing...I miss this show alot. Would kick back on a Saturday as a kid in New Orleans and learn how to cook like a pro.
As a kid, every Saturday morning I was in front of the tv watching this man... it's how I learned to measure with no spoon, lol. My cooking styles were definitely influenced here. RIH Mr. Wilson, you are missed.
My older Sis and I would love to watch him. She recently passed away from cancer. May she rest in peace. Love you Bets
My grandpa was from Louisiana and he always watched this show. I remember grandpa being a slight “hater” too.

I used to watch him with my grandpa, too!
Watched every episode when I was a kid. Grandpa would hunt and fish, I'd always help clean the kill, and grandma cook. Miss those days.
Same, i remember my granddad watching him all the time. I can feel Him watching with me
That’s awesome. My dad was from Oakdale. However my mom has THEE best chicken gumbo.
That story was funny thanks for sharing sweet
Lord, I can remember watching him on PBS on the weekend as a little kid and loving it sooo much! "I GuaronTee!" This was decades before the food network. Him and Julia were the damn best!
I'm from New York State, and I still 40yrs later say, "Cayenne Pepper" out loud in his voice whenever I use it while cooking!
@@lisareichard5791 😂😂😂😂 I love it. That's awesome!!
Yan Can Cook too!
These cooking storytellers were there every day when I was little
And Yan can cook!!
Yyaaasssss!
I absolutely loved Justin Wilson. He was Awesome! God bless his soul. He passed away in 2001. Great man.
Have not seen him in over 30years. But used to watch him often. God bless his soul. Amen
talk about nostalgia! I would watch him on PBS on Saturdays as a kid! I gar-on-tee!
+TheGodivaGoddess Lol I still say "on-yons" and "gar on tee"
+Amber M kml me too!!! My son always looks at me crazy!!
+TheGodivaGoddess Shewww, how you am be?! lol. I remember watching this very episode with my dad when it aired on TV.
me too
I was just about to comment this very thing, but I'll just "like" yours instead.
This guy, and Bob Ross on PBS back in the day- another piece of my childhood:-)
Same.haha
Same for me too!!! Bob Ross and Justin Wilson....
Don't forget about Yan Can Cook! chop chop chop chop chop chop
Loved Yan, plus Galloping Gourmet.
Great stuff, fond memories, I enjoyed Newton's Apple to.
When we lost this man we lost an absolute treasure. Indeed rest in peace!!
Hilary Lewis I totally agree.
Justin IS resting peacefully with a jug of " SAUTERNE WINE " ... " I GAR - UN - TEE " !!!
@@johnmcclintock8004 and telling his Budreaux (sp) jokes
Yeah
Top of the line, chef. I garontee.
Him pouring salt into his hand, saying it's a tablespoon, and then pouring it into the tablespoon just to prove that it was indeed one full tablespoon has got to be the finest magic trick I have ever witnessed.

Is fing true!!!
No Better Than Good
general rule tbh. eating str8 from cook tastes blander than after cooling

Being from south Louisiana ( south of I 10) this man’s voice filled my house as a child I grantee!! Ca c’est bon
Justin was irreplaceable. Authentic Cajun, a wonderful cook and a great story teller.
LOVED Him!
He was from up north somewhere. He had the accent down though.
@@petrosspetrosgaliunless you are south of I10... You might not want to call 20 miles north of i10 in roseland "way up north"
Me, that's way up north.
He was from Madisonville. This was an act.
Justin Wilson was not cajun lol
without this guy there would be no Emeril, or Wolfgang, or Bobby Flay. I loved this show and Yan Can Cook.
Or Paul Prudhomme
Julia Child too.
"And remember, if Yan Can cook, so can you"
...and please let us not forget the fabulous Graham Kerr The Galloping Gourmet. He was nationally syndicated on commercial TV before ANY of them.
Don’t forget wok with Yan, frugal gourmet. All the old schools folks Ciao Italian!! All
Not only a great cook, but a showman...his quips, stories and him talking to the food. I was always mesmerized watching him do his thing.
I once read that he'd been a "safety engineer" and used stories he'd heard in his travels to 'gain the audience's attention"@ the beginning of his safety lectures.
He was wondermous!

I was born in 1997 so this is probably before my time but I love watching Justin. He’s like the bob ross of cooking.
What happened to the bell pepper & celery peace
Justin wasn't "like" anybody else. Other people maybe wished they were like him but an original is an original.
One of my favorite's Before "Food Network" and all their crazy shows.. "RIP" Justin Wilson, life was so much easier when you were around....
No cell phones!! I'd go back in a heartbeat. Good times..
I AGREE DAVID GIBSON
I found this video and I became a child again. I loved watching him with my dad! We’d drool and wish that we could be in the audience.
This was my favorite cooking show! I remember watching this with my grandma and laughing at his stories.

Justin is the all time top cooking show host. Stil say garontee all the time.

I know right that what I miss so I watch classic TV😊
The Louisiana accent and culture remind me so much of the Caribbean, specifically Trinidad where I am from. The French influence that we both have in our cultures binds us
Why did the chicken cross the road? To show the Possum it can be done.

I think you mean "shicken"
Justin Wilson was my first intro to Cajun cooking...Now I live in Louisiana!
isnt it the most amazing place on earth?
I used to watch this man "live" and enjoyed every telecast. RIP. Squirrel head stew!
I'm upset that there are hardly any videos of him anywhere, not even for sale!
Amelia Bee PBS plays an epsiode or two on Saturdays... if you live in SELA you can catch this channel

I watched him on our little TV as a kid...
We had one small TV with 4 channels and an antenna wrapped in tin foil and I'd tune it to channel 8 just to watch him and listen to his stories.
Love and miss those times. Thank you for the great memories, Justin.
I remember watching him on PBS every weekend as a kid.
After the good lord made Justin Wilson, he broke the mold. Once we lose folks like this they can never be replaced. Thanks Justin for the memories, laughter and great cookin!
The best part was when he'd make himself a plate, pour a glass of wine, and sit down and take a couple of bites. Eeeewww-weee!
The Emperor been cooking gumbo my whole life. I’d say you need to use butter, not olive oil, and that rue looks too dark. Might be the old film though. Rue should be the color of an old copper penny. He uses filé to thicken, but it can go stringy. Okra is better and adds that flavor. Justin didn’t like two things I know of. Okra and bay leaf.
@@helenhebert7127 Jeez HELEN...can you find anything else this man has done wrong???!!!for fucks sake if he woulda had you he may have been a great cook..huh??
Or he would pour a glass of "pop with foam on top" =beer
He loved that wine
My daddy and I watched this show every week together. We're from Tennessee but that's when my dad started saying onion and guarantee like Justin did. 🖤
Oh man, thanks so much for posting this.... I am missinng my dad big time, and him watching Mr. Wilson cookin' up some gumbo is one of my favorite memories. This sure brought some great memories back. Thank you!
I liked him on PBS. I miss him. Thanks for bringing him back. PBS needs more like him.
So damn precious. My first exposure to south Louisiana culture!! I was born and raised in East Texas, but married my best friend in New Orleans in 2015 on Halloween. We lived in La for six years before moving back to Texas in 2016.
Just went and saw Deadpool and Wolverine, had Gambit on it he sounded exactly like Justin Wilson so had to come and watch this video in honor of Justin.
Love the accent reminds me of my uncles and late Grandpa (Lord rest his soul)
Mine too!
Sweet
Jazelle Brocks where u from
Jazelle Brocks is that your real photo? Mon femme, Creole magnifique.
I’m from TX but my dads side of the family are creole from Louisiana.
I loved his show growing up he made me hungry eating what he made and drank his wine. His stories were so cute love that accent.
StaleKracker brought me here . Thanks Mr Wilson for all the culinary help and the amazing recipes
I am from Louisiana and enjoy listening to him talk with that accent.
Me as well
Is that patois?
@@HeronCoyote1234no it's imitation Lafayette 😂
Justin is the greatest cook who ever lived!
I collected his cookbooks because, not only did you learn to cook something good,... You got a wonderful story as well.
Love this gentleman he'd done make Saturdays great. Use to see him almost ever weekend . Whew boy
Omg! I was obsessed watching Justin Wilson on PBS when I was a kid. My favorite is the end of the show he always had a huge jug of wine.
i watch his show all the time. i really miss this man. you learned so much and all the while you laughed and had fun. RIP justin, love and miss you chef
Love and miss him he taught me a lot "i guarantee that" lol
I Garontee!
I didnt even know the word "Cajun" or what it was until Justin Wilsons cooking show came on. One of the greats. RIP my old friend.
Cajuns are ancestors of Acadian French kicked out of eastern Canada many many years ago.
Cajuns are the DESCENDANTS of the Acadians who were exiled from Acadie, now known as Nova Scotia, Canada by the English. A very sad tale indeed.
He wasn't cajun
I was a child also watching Mr. Wilson with my grandmother. He was one of my favorite Louisiana cooks on pbs. I loved his accent and hearing him speak😄
We watched this every week..right after cartoons went off. His voice was always hypnotic even for kids.... what's great is ya people would speak similar to this at home(new orleans) ...so you understood and related to everything he said.
Nothing better than Cajuns n Creoles❤
I would always watch his show for his jokes and stories. He was awesome!
Me too. I love him and his recipes. Watched him on PBS before we had cable. Bought his cooking book, Outdoor Cooking With Inside Help. Taught me how to boil corn, cook gumbo, and make yeast rolls.
Remember him when I was a kid. "I garontee!"
I remember waiting Justin Wilson when I was a kid, I always loved his show. The only thing worth a damn on Food Network is Good Eats reruns, Alton Brown is awesome!
Yes, AB is terrific. Love him.
I remember watching this guy, Yan Can Cook, & The Frugal Gourmet as a kid with my pops. Great memories.
Spend a many of Saturday afternoons with my grandma in the early 90’s as a kid watching him, the frugal gourmet, and yan can cook.
Loved watching this guy. Him and Julia childs were the pioneers
Oh my goodness thank you so much for posting this. I love Justin Wilson... great cook and funnier than most comedians
Omg i watched this man every Saturday growing up. Man, this brought back memories. I so loved watching him. I didn't think I'd ever see any of his shows again. Thank you too whomever found and posted this here. This is a real treat
I have so many fond memories of watching this guy on PBS with my mom. Makes me happy to see him again. My mom still pronounces "onion" the way Justin Wilson does - "awn-yon."
I loved Justin Wilson and his Cajun Cook show.
"I gar-awn-tee!" and "awn-yawn"
I miss this dude.
Ok 😂 that's what my son loved to hear his say I gra-awn-tee thanks 🥰
The reason I stopped putting the Shicken in Dere is too make sure I could get all the wine in dere!
Schicken, lol! I love it.
That's for true!
I drinks me li'l bit whilst I cooks!
In dea
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂...tooo funnny
His niceness just oozes through the screen 💕
I'd be lying if I said I understood every word though! Saying that with nuthin but love...I guarantee it!
If somebody don't like it, don't let 'em in yo' house!
Petroleum car with the syringes ringin'. I loved this guy.
i loved watching him growing up. i loved when he hit the hooch
Salute to the chef! I love this guy ❤️🙏🏽 watched him faithfully as a child. Still cool and sound like him now lol
I always enjoyed watching his cooking show,And loved to hear his stories.
So glad I found this channel! I remember watching him back in the day- doesn't matter what he cooked, he was a joy to watch.
I just loved to listen to him talk
I worked a few private events for this man...they were wild affairs and the food was amazing...I miss this show alot. Would kick back on a Saturday as a kid in New Orleans and learn how to cook like a pro.
LPB...Louisiana Public Broadcasting. I watched him growing up in West Monroe
What? You actually got to taste his food? So jealous! Positively green with envy.
@@Hun_Uinaq right!
As a kid, every Saturday morning I was in front of the tv watching this man... it's how I learned to measure with no spoon, lol. My cooking styles were definitely influenced here. RIH Mr. Wilson, you are missed.
