I love the Cajun flavoring.
Not just on food, but on LSU’s football roster.
It’s comforting when I see the familiar names, the ones I grew up among. This year’s Tigers include Theriot, Domingue, Hebert (two of them), Francois and Alleman.
I read those names and instantly crave boiled crawfish, gumbo or jambalaya. Luckily, I married a woman who also grew up in New Orleans and is a wonderful chef, so the cravings don’t last long.
The flavoring will be even stronger Satuday when LSU plays Louisiana-Lafayette (the epicenter of Cajun land).

The school produced a quarterback named Delhomme (yep, that guy in Charlotte), and this year’s team includes Benoit, Desormeaux, Dupre, Falgout, Gautier, Guilbeaux, Leblanc, Ledet and Troullier.
Pass the hot sauce, mon cher !
The Cajun names remind me of a warm, proud, fun-loving people that are unique. Eat. Drink. Smile. Dance.
Even though my surname is German and doesn’t end in a sexy “eaux” sound, when you grow up in Louisiana, there’s always going to be a little Cajun flowing through you.
