Parts Unknown Season 11, Episode 7: ‘Cajun Mardi Gras’ Recap | Eater

"Over a lively Lafayette lunch with historian/DJ Herman Fuselier, “Creole cowboy” Dave Lamelle, and musician/business owner Sid Williams, the group dug into fried fish, rice and gravy, ribs, and smothered-and-stuffed turkey legs — dishes so compelling that the host was “all over” them like a heat-seeking missile. The meal doubled as a forum for a deep dive into Creole history, including the claim that Creoles were early American cowboys who herded cattle in Louisiana long before the West and that zydeco grew out of that cowboy culture, the washboard’s rhythm mimicking the trot of horses." - Greg Morabito
