taste of louisiana with chef john folse & company: hooks, lies & alibis

In this episode, John gets a first-hand look at the size and scope of Louisiana's coastal erosion problem.

John celebrates the coastal bounty by making sauteed speckled trout with a spicy garlic and orange vinaigrette with saltwater fishing champion, Tommy Vidrine. Then, John cooks a dried shrimp potato stew with Bobby Collins. Finally, John, Bobby and Sister Marie Dulce make a dried shrimp encrusted red snapper.
