Bailey said that he isn’t surprised, however, that Cajun cooking has been received so well thus far by the judges. “I think we have the best food in the world,” he said.
Bailey, who also produces a “Captain Coby” line of Cajun seasoning, is a Lafayette Fire Department captain and U.S. Navy veteran. He has been gathering with friends and family for a watch party at the Yard Goat in Lafayette each Friday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., where hundreds of people gather weekly to cheer on his success.
“Everything’s been crazy. There’s been tremendous support,” said Bailey. “I’ve been enjoying all of it.”
“The Great American Recipe” finale will air on Friday at 8 p.m. on PBS or online.
