"Everything is approachable, everything is communal, everything is supposed to be shared by everyone: from the person who doesn't eat weird stuff, to the person that considers their self a gourmand" --Amanda Toups on U Look Hungry

"To be Cajun means to live off their land. They harvest their own crawfish, they go huntin' and eat off that. Sure, they'll go to the grocery store to get the basics, but there's still a lot of people that are growing and raising their own food." -- Isaac Toups on U Look Hungry
