and all of a suddenwe've got a bunch of buddies out on a boat. these are the moments,that bring people together. this is unity.this is socialness. socialness? not a word.i'm going to say it, though. this is a fully balanced meal witheverything right here from new orleans. welcome to louisiana.i hope we showed you a good time. always the best timedown here in louisiana. thanks for bringing the canadian love.it's the acadiana connection. tabasco headquartersavery island, louisiana

i'm here on avery island... to see how creative tabasco is with theirown hot sauce and to see how it's made. this is the monolithic tabasco world. we're inside the inner-sanctum.let's get it. hi, john.-morning matty, how are you? i'm well. how are you?-doing great, welcome to avery island. good to be here, it's beautiful.-thank you. so this is the garden.-this is it. want to take a look? man, yeah.

these are the seedlings?-these are full-grown plants now... but this is all for seeds. this farmis all going to be used for seeds. we grow pepper all over the world:latin america. we grow a little bit in south africaand zimbabwe, that seed comes from here. we've never done anythingto modify or change it. the first thing you lose is flavor and it'sgot a lot of that, so why get rid of that? that's hot.-beautiful open pollinated plants. that's delicious, the spice is real.you don't want to eat a whole one. no, it's pretty hot.-yeah.

maybe on a dare or something. we call this the mash warehouseand this the aging warehouse. we started in the fields, then we gotto go into the fermentation warehouse... where it's just salt and chili pepper. damn. what is mash? in this case, pepper mash is ground uptabasco peppers and a little bit of salt. and that is fermenting? when we open it up and smell andtaste them you'll see the difference...

and what happens over the courseof three years in a barrel. two of those pop off. so these barrels come from herebut the peppers come from honduras. in this case,the peppers have come from honduras. so we have a little ceremonythat we go through in here... for our guests who cometo taste pepper mash. we do a little between our thumband our forefinger, like that. swirl it around your moutha couple of times and then like i said... pretty good, huh?

eating hot sauce makes you either coughor sneeze or start sweating. we just did it, it's hot.we just did it. it's saliva, the saliva is building. this is like if you were to take... sorry. try to be cool on cameraand then you're like... this is hot sauce, i'm fucked. there you go. welcome to the club.

family, almost family.-almost. see i'm still not family,they keep that tight. matty, it's the end of my time with you.i'm handing you to my cousin took. cousin took?-that's him right there. cousin took? what's going on,how are you? pretty good. how are you?-i'm well, thanks for having me. cousin took took good of care of us.he showed us really interesting products. we got to taste a bunch of stuff.the coolest thing was the ice cream. so, like soft servedwith raspberry-chipotle hot sauce in it.

and then he covered the topof the ice cream with more hot sauce. that's a lot.-it's not quite enough. no? okay.and that was really good. it was like saltyand sweet from the raspberry. it was almost like a birch syrupor something like that. that was a perfect example... of the creativitytabasco is doing with themselves. and then it's my time to shine. i'm here at marsh house,the oldest property on avery island.

this is the family estate. what we haven't had,is a traditional louisiana dish. and that combinesmeat and seafood. we've got the foundation right hereof the avery island mash. now i've got to cut all this upand make a gumbo. we have the mirepoix readyso i'm going to sweat this off. and then we're going to build the roux,so we're going to do this and the roux. if you ain't got this spoon,you're not making gumbo. the base of any gumbo is,you take your mirepoix...

or your holy trinity,whatever you want to call it... all your vegetablesand cook them down. then we're going to cookand render out even more fat... out of the andouille. and let this just all come together. this is the pepper mash. so now, we've got our roux cooked,we add our stock. then the rest of our meat and thenbraise and stew all of the meat. at the very last second,we throw in all that seafood...

and let it cook for 10 minutes.we've got gumbo, baby. here is the gumbo. all these people are part of thiscommunity that built up this hot sauce. i hope i didn't fuck it up too much.it's my first time making gumbo. i appreciate your time and showing meavery island and all that good stuff. let's eat, man.-i really appreciate it. it's always good and we havesome aficionados here of gumbo. dude, is there...it is spicy. man, that gumbo is good. it's spicy.i put a little bit too much in.

i think it's good,i love you put in that half crab. it's good to have a canadian come downhere and show us how to do a gumbo. i came down to louisianato check out spice and hot sauce. hot sauce is life.it makes you good. we took that riverboaton the hot sauce river. that hot sauce river maybe the sameas the hot sauce river of life. we eat this gumboand enjoy the company. sit under this tree,maybe catch an armadillo.
