There was a Louisiana chef on PBS named Justin Wilson that used to say that all the time while cooking. It was a Cajun cooking show in the early 80’s.
Odd fact, Justin Wilson was not Cajun, and was a noted segregationist.
Segregationist
Is that pro, or anti?
Inflammable means flammable? What a country!
What?! Spider poison is people poison?!
Did you get it from the Poison Delivery Service?
A gift basket of poison is on its way!
Desegregationist is its opposite, though some think desegregation and integration are the same. They are not.
I don't think I've ever heard of an integrationist, come to think of it.
I've seen Integrationist used in older writings. Integrationist's were a group in Canada who thought the best way to deal with Indigenous peoples was to "force" them into general society. The idea being if you made them like other Brits/Canadians, they would all become one society of people. Thinking it was preferable to segregation or genocide. Because this integration was against their will and generally involved stealing the children and removing them from their parents and former cultures, it turned out as poorly as you would expect.
I imagine other English speaking countries have similar disasters, so the word might not be viewed as positively as you would expect it to be.
Australia had that too, but we didn't call it that as far as I know. We call it the stolen generations. Essentially the government realised that what they called "full-blooded" Aboriginal population was declining, but the "half-blooded" numbers were on the rise. They thought the best way was to dilute the Aboriginal blood with white blood. And what better way to do this is to steal babies from mothers and give them to white families to raise as white with no connection to their original family or culture? Somewhere between 1 in 10 and 3 in ten babies were taken from their families like this, over a period of decades until it finally stopped in the 1970s.
Off-topic of the show, but since I'm Canadian (Caucasian, born & raised, but a child of 2 immigrants) - ew.
Typically means pro.
Segregationists typically wanted segregation to continue as opposed to desegregationists who wanted to move things together
I laughed so hard at this
That's unsurprising, the man was born in 1914.
I didn’t know being born in 1914 made you fake a Cajun accent
its true
And the likeness was borrowed from Dom Deluise who is pretty famous for gaining a lot of weight, loving food and wearing that type of hat in the same colour.
I’m pretty sure the likeness cam from from Cajun chef Paul Prudhomme.
Who coincidentally looks uncannily like Dom Deluise.
Dom Deluise can interview himself!
He was huge in the 80s. Started at commanders palace and then had his own place named k-Paul’s. Even a location in nyc. He’s dead now but mentioned a lot in the Ella Brennan documentary
He was always huge
Oh maybe you're right. Dude is a biiig fella too!
I came to the comments to say this, because I was so proud that I remembered this completely useless fact.
Bingo
“Dad, what are you doing down there?”
“Washing my fat guy hat, honey!”
"Dad, you promised Mom you woudn't wear your cape outside"
Ah, nuts to that
Paul Prudhomme. It’s supposed to be Paul Prudhomme.
Is that a joke? Because he's based on Paul Prudhomme, the New Orleans chef who almost single-handedly made Cajun food a fad in the 1980s with his "blackened" fish and steaks.
But yes, back in the day, they looked very similar:

Do you guarantee??
Oh my god I used to love totallylookslike.com!
And being Pizza the Hutt
💀
Pretty sure he also has a cookbook
Dom?
Yes. It’s called “Eat this, it’ll make you feel better!”
Not Dom. Paul.
Ok I always thought it was Don Deluise as well. He also had a cookbook and went on many shows to promote it. He then kept writing cookbooks.
All I'm saying is, it's an honest mistake 🫡
Yeah I’m kind of disappointed it isn’t him. Don DeLuise cracked me up as a kid
Looks like Paul Prudhomme, but used Justin Wilson's catchphrase.
It’s a reference to famous Louisiana chefs. The guy looks like Paul Prudhomme, but I believe the guy who said “I guar aun tee!” was another guy.
look big daddy....its regular daddy...
Lived to 75, I absolutely would have thought he died in the early 90's.
He lost a lot of weight later in life.
Obesity only shaves off about 8 years of life expectancy if you don't smoke, drink or drug it up.
Wasn’t there some Cajun alligator cartoon villain who said that too? He might have been in the 1980s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.
Yes! I've had that image in my head for decades and I didn't even know about the chef who originated it. Leatherhead is the name. The alligator. Not the chef.
yes, Jim.cummings played him.and based him on a former boss he had from New Orleans
That was just a warning gator
The next one won't be corked
It’s actually Big Daddy from Nawlins, just without the glasses.
You mean Charles Daddy? From Parade Magazine!?
No. They mean Regular Daddy.
It’s Paul “No, I’m not Dom Deluise” Prudhomme
Always assumed this was an over-exaggerated Dom DeLuise caricature or something.
that's funny because when I was really young I would mixup Paul Prudhomme and Dom DeLuise
Ah you've posted one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but almost as well known is The French Mistake!
This makes me laugh every time I hear it
GCCA was established because of Paul Prudhomme. Blackened Redfish.
Back in the day there were some Cajun chefs that all had catch phrases like that. The catch phrase was Justin Wilson’s but the character looks like a generic fat guy in a fat guy hat.
As was the style at the time.
I wonder if he’s feeling 3 kinds of softness
The physical resemblance is supposed to be Big Daddy but the catch phrase is from Regular Daddy
90s kids remember: if it was spicy and southern, he GAR-OHN-TEED it.
Wasn’t he one of the Little Rascals?
Who can forget the fat guy…
The look is Dom Deluise and Paul Prudhomme, Paul was a famous New Orleans chef. They look identical down to the hat. The catch phrase is from Justin Wilson. Who while being born in North Louisiana doesn't have Cajun ancestry and offends most real cajuns. - Signed someone who lives below New Orleans and is a real Cajun.
Dude looks like Paul Prudhomme, but the catch phrase is Justin Wilson.
Love Paul Prudhomme, my family has always made his Cajun stuffed red potatoes for Thanksgiving instead of mashed potatoes.
Edit: recipe
Check the salt level of the stuffing at the end before filling the potatoes, I usually have to add a bit
Care to share the recipe?
Yeah I’ll take a picture when I get home this evening
*Following
Updated the og comment with the recipe
Paging u/klassikarl too
It's just brown and water.
Are either of those The Cajun Chef?
Justin Wilson is!
Both of them are cajun
Justin Wilson wasn't Cajun; he was a segregationist cosplayer that actual Cajuns detested.
Thank you.
Like hosted the show by that name.
Yep. And the Justin Wilson Ruffles commercial was UBIQUITOUS at the time. I assume more people saw that commercial than watched PBS, I dunno.
