When I saw the photo of the jambalaya, all I could think was, "what the heck is that?!"
I give MM huge credit for sticking it out, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been so patient.
New Orleans cuisine is not difficult to make correctly. At the very least they could have downloaded a few Emril recipes...

To AOA Editors:
Just noticed there has been a sign up around 677 Prime now for a week stating " Shame on Angelo Mazzone! "
Huge red and white sign... Do we think this about the Unions? Surprised but not really, that no one has written about this anywhere. Would love to hear what you guys can find out.

@J: Let's just say I'm glad I was able to take photos of the jambalaya. If I'd just described it, I'm not sure anyone would have believed my words!
