The most enjoyable (and, by far, the most delicious) activity our media trip group did was visiting Spuddy’s Cajun Foods and participating in his Cajun Cooking Experience in Vacherie, Louisiana. Spuddy Faucheux hosts groups in his establishment and takes them on a step-by-step Cajun cooking journey. He also makes his own Andouille sausage, and his business is part of the Andouille Trail. What makes the whole thing a blast is his infectious enthusiasm and energy, which culminate in a bit of dance anytime the dishes come out well.

We each prepared an iconic Cajun dish (jambalaya, chicken and Andouille gumbo, smothered okra and petit pois, or roux peas) and shrimp creole. The crew prepared the ingredients beforehand, so all we had to do was cook. While we took almost three hours to finish, the time flew by, and before long, we had an incredible Cajun feast.
