First Scout, this just came across my desk....
It's a sad day in the South. Chef Paul Prudhomme has passed, he was 75. Paul was perhaps most famous as the inventor of the Turducken but his restaurant K-Paul's Kitchen in New Orleans was also the first to serve Blackened Redfish, it was so wildly popular that chefs everywhere began to serve it until the Redfish population was threatened and harvesting was shut down for several years. Fishermen in Florida are still only allowed to keep one Redfish.
Eleven Christmases in a row I made Turduckens using his recipe from the Prudhomme Family Cookbook. The recipe is 14 pages long.
Prudhomme was truly a legend.
Requiescat In Pace, Chef Paul.
