  • Fascinating

    Never dull, good stories, excellent details. Love the podcast; and I enjoyed the thanksgiving special.

    To comment on the "tomato broth with seafood" comment. I'm from New Orleans and my family makes a Creole style gumbo, with a tomato base- containing okra, oyster, crab meat, shrimp, etc! It is so delicious. Look it up😋
