Wilson (April 24, 1914 - September 5, 2001) was a southern American chef and humorist known for his brand of Cajun cuisine-inspired cooking and humor. He was a self-styled "raconteur" and a staunch political conservative. Wilson was born in Roseland in Tangipahoa Parish, one of the "Florida Parishes" of Louisiana. He began his career as a safety engineer while he traveled throughout Acadiana. His safety lectures that he made to refinery workers prompted him on the road to becoming a Cajun storyteller. He remembered it this way on the back cover of The Justin Wilson Cook Book: "Way back when I first started as a safety engineer, I took myself pretty seriously, and I found I was putting my audiences to sleep. So having lived all my life among the Cajuns of Louisiana, and having a good memory for the patois and the type of humor Cajuns go for, I started interspersing my talks on safety with Cajun humor." Wilson later recorded several humor albums, beginning with "The Humorous World of Justin Wilson" on Ember Records. He also recorded several albums for Jewel Records on the Paula label. He later appeared as a guest on the popular CBS series The Ed Sullivan Show. He was known for the catchphrase, "I gar-on-tee!". He later wrote seven Cajun cookbooks and two books of Cajun stories, and hosted several cooking shows on PBS that combined Cajun cooking and Cajun humor. Wilson was politically active in his early years. His father, Democrat Harry D. Wilson, was the Louisiana agriculture commissioner in the first half of the twentieth century (his mother, Olivet Wilson, was Louisiana French). In 1951-1952, Justin Wilson was the manager of the unsuccessful Democratic gubernatorial campaign of Lieutenant Governor William J. "Bill" Dodd. He and Dodd were close though they often disagreed on political philosophy. Wilson's brother-in-law, Bolivar Kemp, was the Democratic attorney general of Louisiana from 1948 to 1952. Over the years, Wilson, a conservative and known for his emphasis of patriotic themes, became involved in numerous Louisiana political campaigns. Former state Senator Donald Wayne "Don" Williamson of Caddo Parish recalls Wilson having cut a commercial for his own Democratic challenge to incumbent Insurance Commissioner Sherman A. Bernard in 1979. Williamson said that Wilson just volunteered to help him. Williamson only narrowly lost to Bernard, who later went to prison for fraud in the handling of his job duties. In time, Wilson's ties to the Democrats soured, and he supported numerous Republican candidates. It is not known whether Wilson himself became a Republican. Tell me your favorite Justin Wilson Joke. Boudreaux and Thibodaux are sitting in a bar all night when Boudreaux staggers to his feat and starts walking home. Boudreaux he's so drunk that he decides to take a shortcut through the cemetary. Not seeing an open grave, Boudeaux falls head over heals into the empty grave. Laying in the cold damp mud Boudreaux comes to his senses and starts crying out for help, Help me, help me, I'm cold, Help me I'm cold. Tibodaux, he's about as drunk as his friend Boudreaux and as he passes by the graveyard on his way to Cloteal's he hears "Help me, Help me, I'm cold, I'm cold. Always a curious fellow Tibodaux staggers over in the direction of the cries for help and following the voice, looks down into the empty grave, "Help me, I'm cold" rises from the dark depths of the Grave, Tibodaux, stands up straight, looks at the mound of dirt off to the side and peers into the grave.

Justin Wilson, the Cajun humorist and chef whose distinctive accent delighted viewers of his “Cookin’ Cajun” and other TV shows, has died. He was 87. His daughter Sarah Sue Easterly said Wilson died Wednesday in Baton Rouge. Over Wilson’s career, he released five cookbooks and recorded 27 spoken-word albums of stories and an album of Christmas songs. He was host of several cooking programs, including “Louisiana Cookin’.” He was utterly unpretentious, and refused to let mistakes be edited out of his shows or to let canned laughter be added, said Carl Fry, who produced all of his Louisiana Public Broadcasting shows. “He would say, ‘I’ll tell a joke. If they like it, they like it,’ ” Fry said. He referred to himself as JOOS-tain and became known for the expression: “I ga-ron-tee!” (guarantee), from the Cajun “J’vous garantis.” “Cajun cooking is the ability to take what you have and create a good dish and season it right,” Wilson told The Associated Press in 1990.

Wilson of Tangipahoa parish holds the title as longest serving Agriculture Commissioner in Louisiana. Wilson was elected in 1916 and served as Commissioner until his death in January 1948 – a total of 32 years. Wilson who was referred to as “Uncle Harry” or “Mister Harry,” was 78 when he died. Accomplishments under his administration included the establishment of the Market Bulletin, an agriculture based newspaper that afforded farmers and landowners a way to buy and sell farm-related goods and services. Wilson also helped develop the seed laboratory and pushed for an increase in entomological work within the department. He created an agricultural museum in the basement of the State Capitol with a colorful display of Louisiana’s diverse agriculture industry and touted Louisiana products as “the finest anywhere.” Wilson was chairman of the Southern Commissioners of Agriculture for 22 years and served as past president of the organization. At the turn of the 20th century, Tangipahoa Parish, like much of the South, was home to a thriving cotton industry. Wilson was one of the orig- inal organizers of the Cotton Consumption Council and former president of the Association for the Increased Use of Cotton. Wilson was very proud of his roots and his hometown of Independence. While on his death bed in the Our Lady of the Lake hospital in Baton Rouge, Wilson had regained consciousness after seven days in a coma and told the nurse, “Turn me toward Tangipahoa.” Harry D.

  • Justin E. Wilson – “I Garontee”
    NATIVE SON Justin E. Wilson – “I Garontee” Justin Wilson was born in 1914 in Roseland, Louisiana, the second youngest of seven children of Harry D. Wilson the Louisiana Com - missioner of Agriculture and Forestry from 1916 to 1948 and a former member of the Louisiana House of Representatives. Mr. Harry was of Welsh decent, while his wife Oliveti was of French descent. Who knew what an influence she would be on a great American chef, beginning as a small boy at her apron strings? She was known as an expert in the kitchen and taught Justin how to cook everything from seafood to squirrel to deer, fried spicy with a kick. When I met Miss Oliveti and her two daughters, Olivette Garrison and Menette Kemp in the 1960’s, she was living in the North Laurel Street house, shown in the photo. I had just married Larry and moved to Amite when she invited us over. At first meeting, I knew I was in the presence of a “great southern belle.” I was especially drawn to Miss Olivette Garrison, Justin’s sister. We co-hosted bridal showers and garden club meetings, and card parties. Despite the great age- difference, we became friends. I always felt she had taken me under her wing to socially educate me properly. Visiting her home was such a joy; she was a gracious hostess. Justin’s mother was a wonderful musician who loved to entertain her guests, even late into her late eighties. In 1970, the Wilson’s threw a celebration for Miss Oliveti honoring her on her 90th birthday.
