Kwi Pa: Don’t Cook That! | Alligator Piquante with Jourdan Thibodeaux | SWI | 10/3/25
They aren’t items you’ll typically find on a 5-star menu…but for Acadiana, they have been a source of sustenance, survival and cultural pride. LPB’s French Correspondent Drake Leblanc takes us on a limited series culinary tour of some food items that are popular in Southwest Louisiana and beyond. This week, Drake and musician Jourdan Thibodeaux cook up some Alligator Sauce Piquante and explore the history of gators in Acadiana.
