Today is the day! I’m thrilled to have my friend and Culinary Superstar Chef Jay D. Ducote on Family Meal. Jay Ducote is a true example of the diversity that a career and life in food presents today. As a media personality with Food Network, his radio show Bite and Booze, product line JAYD’S, and his restaurant Gov't Taco he is a man on a mission. At the center of it all, Jay stays true to himself and his roots. His food and career were shaped tailgating at LSU Football and in Texas.
