Whatcha Got Cookin’
Hey Good Lookin’ Whatcha Got Cookin’?
The late, great HankWilliams, from Butler County, Alabama, recorded 35 Top 10 Singles, including
the song Hey Good Lookin’ that was released in 1951.
Say hey, good lookin’ — whatcha got cookin’,
How’s about cookin’ somethin’ up with me?
Hey, sweet baby — don’t you think maybe,
We can find us a brand new recipe?

My husband, brother and I attended this
evening’s demonstration by Chef Nino (he
cooked pastalaya). I dragged my reluctant
husband along hoping that he would be
inspired to cook for me. Well, he had such
a great time! Chef Nino is a hoot — very
entertaining but extremely informative and
instructive at the same time. He makes it all
so much fun. I have attended many cooking
demos (and been a prep cook in London)
and I can say that Chef Nino keeps the
demo lively with humor, tips and personal
stories. “Kudos” to Rouses (Gulf Shores)
for sponsoring these demonstrations. It has
impressed me, a New England snowbird,
and taught me that Cajun cooking is not
spicy but extremely flavorful. I have already
replicated the Gumbo and the Crawfish
étouffée recipes from previous demos — and
the Pastalaya will be another recipe I will
take home to New Hampshire. —J. Rosser
As a Wisconsin SnowBird in Orange Beach,
Alabama, I am thoroughly enjoying Rouses
new store this year. I love Southern Cuisine
and the ambiance of the South especially the
New Orleans area, which we have been to
several times. This year not only do I have
the new store to thoroughly enjoy, but I
am attending Chef Nino’s cooking classes
every Friday (even
though I have to get
there 30-45 minutes
early to get a seat.)
Chef Nino’s past
experiences, culinary
knowledge, Acadian
heritage and his
having lived in Italy/
Sicily for 13 years all add immensely to his
culinary presentations. Rouses couldn’t be
nicer with their true Southern hospitality!
The store itself is well stockedwith everything
from their fresh produce, homemade meats,
fabulous spice aisle, and great deli, to just
name a few. Thank you for coming to Gulf
Shores Rouses!!! —M. Marrier
I am a cookbook author and do a tremen-
dous amount of business with grocery stores,
but today, I called the Spanish Fort, AL,
store and not only found what I could not
find anywhere else in Daphne, but the cus-
tomer service was
outstanding. Linda
McElhaney and
Candice Burt were
the employees that
helped. They found
the product, read the
label over the phone
and welcomed me
Rouses Chef Nino
“The best chefs, cooks and cookbook
authors shop at Rouses!We just celebrated
our first anniversary in Alabama. Thank
you for shopping Gulf Coast local and
making us feel so welcome!”
