Yes--on PBS back in the 1970s and 80s. The shows starring Julia Child and the Galloping Gourmet (Graham Kerr) began a bit before him. His father was the state Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner in Louisiana from 1916-1948, and served in the Louisiana House of Representatives.

Justin was the first for me with his devilled eggs and I still make them exactly the way he did even though I can't find the video anywhere.

I grew up watching Justin Wilson as a kid I love this man I guarantee

[@Katsem]

I used to enjoy watching him when he was on PBS. I love that Justin is using a huge bowl to combine his ingredients. I don’t get why so many chefs/cooks try to mix things up in a bowl that the ingredients barely fit into. I guess it’s a pet peeve of mine. I don’t have a bowl as large as Justin’s, but I keep my old enameled roaster around just to toss ingredients together. I never roast in it anymore, but it’s my go to for things like this macaroni salad. I put the finished salad into smaller containers or serving bowls once it’s done.

[@cwavt8849]

I 1000% agree. I used to cater and my biggest rule in the kitchen was use a big bowl to give yourself room to really combine without spilling

[@scook5599]

Great idea. My Mother used her old enameled roasting pan in the same way.

[@lisaray9404]

Agree 100%! When I find a very, very large bowl, I grab it up, only because I too do not wish to have all of my ingredients barely move because the bowl it too small.

[@kathybouziane5269]

I like a bid bowl myself. Why fight it when you're stirring something up ? ;-)

[@PuffKitty]

Hey, good idea😊 I've had my roaster for many years and it's just taking up space in the oven, unused, but I won't get rid of it 😅

[@anakelly76512]

"I gare-ron-tee". "On-yon". It's been so long since I've seen him but, when I saw the thumbnail of him, I knew immediately who it was. I remembered the way he said "guarantee" the second he started talking. We used to say it the way he did. Good times.

[@LeeEricsson]

He wasn’t a real Cajun. While Wilson presented himself as Cajun in his act, it is unclear if he had any actual Acadian or French ancestry. His father Harry Wilson was of Welsh descent. Justin Wilson described his mother, the former Olivet Mintern Toadvin (1880-1976), as Cajun, but she has no known ancestors who either were Acadian, lived in the Cajun regions of Louisiana, or emigrated from France. (She did, however, teach Justin how to cook.) Her surname Toadvin derives from a native of Guernsey who immigrated to Maryland circa 1675. The Florida Parishes, where the family lived, were not part of the French or Spanish colonies of Louisiana.

Think I saw him once decades ago, but I learned to cook artichokes because of him. As for the salad, I don't know why people don't just put a bunch of the noodle mix in the bowl with the dressing. It helps clean the dressing off the sides of the bowl when you dump it back into the main bowl.
