Exploring Cajun Cuisine with Alzina Toups | Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern

Andrew heads down to southern Louisiana to dive deep into the heart of Cajun food culture on the bayou. He starts the day on the water, joining a local crew as they haul in the freshest catches to deliver to legendary Cajun chef Alzina Toups—a culinary icon known for her exclusive, reservation-only meals. Featured in magazines and TV shows, Alzina has spent decades preserving and perfecting Cajun cooking. Inside her kitchen, Andrew gets hands-on with specialty cuts, preparing pork tongues, livers, and feet. Alzina walks him through every step, from wrapping sausage in pig caul to learning the CORRECT way to peel a shrimp—a lesson every seafood lover needs. The adventure culminates in a true Cajun feast, featuring jambalaya, pigs’ feet, chicken feet gumbo, boiled Boston butt, pork tongue and liver, and Alzina’s personal favorite—tripe in red sauce, a dish that takes two days to perfect. This is authentic Louisiana cuisine at its finest!
