Never met Prudhomme, but the popularity of his invention of blackened redfish nearly drove the stocks of that creature into extinction. My father, an enthusiastic sport fisherman, was among those who got the commercial fishing limits reduced and enforced.
My son tells me that these days they can stay up late drinking whiskey and playing poker, be out on the water at the astonishingly tardy hour of 10 AM, and catch their limit by lunch time.
Like many things in Texas, chili is the subject of fierce ideological debates, argued from irrefutable religious principles.
Bastrop, just southeast of Austin, is one of the oldest gringo settlements in Texas. It is notoriously clannish. When my daughter and her ex-husband placed second in the annual chili contest, she saw it as a sign that her campaign for social acceptance was beginning to pay off.
