Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown-Cajun Country

[Duggie35]

This is why we have the best tailgating in the country. I think the University has an obligation to celebrate Cajun and Creole Culture. We did this as soon as we switch the nickname to Ragin Cajuns, and we do one heck of a job doing it.

I think it would be smart to do Trail Rides with horses coming into Cajun Field during the Cajun Walk, very small number of floats, have people dressed in Cajun Mardi Gras attire. It would be cool to bring back Cajun Man, and we actually just dress our next mascot in just Cajun Mardi Gras attire. Think we need to go deeper to embrace the area around Lafayette, and try to make it exciting for people in New Iberia, Abbeville, Opelousas, Eunice to want to come to the games. I am not saying we don't do that, but we need to kick it up a notch.

We are off to a good start. We already have a "Roosta" dancing around the tailgating area!!! That ties into the running of the Cajun Mardi Gras. LMFAO!!!

I did not like the kid in the boat. He was pretty much embarrassing himself. The house party dancing in the mud was a bit of a "put-on" for TV.....Other than, I thought it was a good portrayal. Herman Fuselier was a good piece to add to that show.

When the drunk guy fell off the roof of the truck, I probably watched that 10 second clip over 20 times.

The point of Bourdain's show was getting off the beaten path, 'Parts Unknown'. Let's face it when traveling a good distance from Louisiana we often express where we live by how many miles away from NOLA or else there's a lost look on the face of the person we're talking to. I thought ending the show at Suire's south of Kaplan was great way to wrap it.

I thought it was well done. Granted, not all of us run the Cajun Mardi Gras in Mamou, Eunice or Church Point, but I have been there and enjoyed taking in the "action". A number of "outsiders" tend to look down on some of what they see, but I don't know many who have actually visited this area and left disappointed!

Didn't know they boarded up Mamou for MG. I travel around the state for my job, nearly everywhere. I'm glad they touched on the black cowboys, which I see frequently in rural parts of south Louisiana. You don't see that everywhere.

Are y'all serious. This about as poor a reflection of Cajun and its people as could be depicted.
C'mom, I was embarrassed... and y'all should be to

I thought the hosts reaction to receiving ashes was fairly snarky when watching. If not mocking, it felt condescending. Feels weird to know he killed himself shortly thereafter. Was interesting to hear him say that Acadiana has the most European feel of anywhere in the states.

[SlickRick]

Did he kill himself? Lots of rumors going round.

According to French authorities he did...which doesn’t mean anything

Don't stress yourself out over this. People that take everything so seriously don't usually live to an old age.
I have heard over the years, some people feel like you do and some that don't have a problem with it. Either opinion has not really affected my life one way or the other. Just relax and carry on.
