"I grew up in Chauvin, one of six kids in a family of swamp Cajuns," Cafe Hope's superchef Melissa Martin tells Ian McNulty this week. "I learned to cook from my mom and her sisters. It was all this gigantic, one-pot cooking where you had to find a way to make whatever you had delicious. It always revolved around seafood... I didn't even know what a bagel was until I went off to college." [Gambit]
