  1. RIP, Chef. We have a family owned Cajun butcher shop here (just north of ATL) who prepare the finest turduckens. I fondly recall cooking turducken, spicey collards, red beans and rice and (my better half made) collard wontons as appetizers for my late parents and their friends. My Momma once told me that those friends that were not invited to our informal dinner parties were jealous as could be. RIP, Mom and Dad.

  2. Sorry to hear he’s gone. Good guy.

    Turducken? Meh. I’m a crisp skin lover, and putting a chicken inside a duck inside a turkey takes away a lot of what I enjoy most from a roast bird. To those who like it, great! De gustibus non est disputandum.

  3. Rest in peace Chef Paul. We have all the cook books and use them frequently (except the one on bronzing) along with the Justin Wilson books. Husband is a wanna’ be Cajun and loves the food.

    Chef Paul and his wife K did a food expo many years ago on the lake front in Cleveland. He had about a 18 dishes prepared and everything we tried was to die for.
    He was wheeling around on his cart at the time. Funny thing his wife was tiny, tiny.

    Let the good times roll in Heaven.

  4. Chef Paul’s cooking set me afire for Cajun and Creole cooking in 1988 at New Orleans. I used his cook books to the point of having to replace them. So many good recipes !!
    Home cooking done right !
    RIP, Sir.
