Notes: Jamison has cooked this gumbo for friends and for bachelor parties. Jamison lived in New Orleans and paraded in Mardi Gras. When just a little fellow -- maybe 3 years old -- he was enthralled by the down-home humor and "ga-ron-tee" of the authentic bayou cuisine from Chef Justin Wilson. Justin, pronounced "jeoo -stain" in a Cajun dialect had a cooking show that was Jamison's favoriteTV program. Jamison grew up "eating tails and sucking heads" of boiled crawfish. As a toddler he was sitting on a bar stool and mixing seafood sauces for the raw oysters he ate on saltine crackers. The beer drinking and beer making came later in life.
