The Travel Channel is putting Louisiana culture and food in the spotlight. A new show "All You Can Meat" seeks to find the most mouth-watering cuts of meat. Fried pork fat in Erath is what the crew is after this week.
'All You Can Meat' learned how to cook cracklins with World Champion Kyle Usie.
"Louisiana is a one of a kind place, even the world. We cook foods no one else in the world cooks, or never even heard of, and it's good food too," said Usie.
Host Chuey Martinez is in Louisiana for the first time and has never had cracklins until now.
" This is the first time seeing them being prepared, and I'm actually helping out and having a great time," said Martinez.
Erath was not the crew's first stop in the state. They've been to New Orleans and Gonzales
"I've had some amazing jambalaya and this thing I've never had before called a hand grenade," said Martinez.
The Travel Channel originally wanted to do a segment on boudin, but when things fell through they called a UL professor to make a new plan.
