Sink your teeth into a lightly fried alligator tail. Later, enjoy gumbo peppered with sausage and chicken. Dish up crackling chicken thighs and get your fill of poached succulent Gulf shrimp with fried green tomatoes on the side. To finish on a sweet note, the chef will also prepare strawberries and cream bread pudding for dessert.
