By now you know that I won the Gumbo battle with Henri Alen and Nicolas Thieulon on their Finnish cooking show, “American Food Battle.” We blindfolded Ronn who was the judge and picked out my Gumbo instantly. I taught these Finnish boys a thing or two they didn’t know about making a roux the non-traditional way that they left America very confused.
It’s funny because Henri Alen owns the best French restaurant in Finland, “Muru” and was so impressed that he now wants to do a cooking show with me and Ronn, where we would cook with celebrities in Los Angeles and Finland. I think it’s just an excuse to figure out all of my secrets in the kitchen and to have Player perform “Man On Fire” which is his theme song in the kitchen there. Devin’s Kickass Cajun Seasoning was my secret weapon and the Finns now want to carry it in some of their restaurants.
American Food Battle
America Food Battle is seen in 50 countries, but not in America so I can only give you a clip and some photos, but we are hoping to have our new cooking show seen here in America. Henri Alen is an amazing Chef and I’d be proud to work with him anywhere. Nicolas is French and knows so much about wines that hanging out with him could only spell fun!
I love Finland and cooking is so natural for me that who am I to say no to this proposal? Seems like having my own cooking show is my destiny and I now have South Africa wanting me to guest spot on their top rated cooking show as there is a mini Player tour among other things in the works for South Africa and Australia.
It’s safe to say we won’t be home much and lots of traveling is in our future, so renewing our passports now is a must for us. I have some other exciting things to share with you guys next month that I know you will flip over, but in the meantime, know that we are coming to the following countries, Australia, Finland, South Africa, The Netherlands, Sweden and Italy this year! Oh and talk about the luck of the Irish, happy St. Patty’s Day!

Awesome The Netherlands
So nice that you will come and visit us in Sweden! Gothenburg I hope! Please tell me when. Would have been just lovely to meet both of you! Very welcome to our beautiful country! I promise you will have a wonderful stay!
Oh please Devin may I have your gumbo recipe – it must have tasted so much better than the mush our Finnish guys Henri and Nicolas came up with 🙂
I’m cooking it this Sunday again, but the recipe is in my Cookin Cajun cookbook that and there is a link to it on this blog homepage.
Thanks! I’ll definitely check it out.
