A badass modern Cajun cookbook from Top Chef fan favorite Isaac Toups and acclaimed journalist Jennifer V. Cole, featuring 100 full-flavor stories and recipes.

Things get a little salty down in the bayou...

Cajun country is the last bastion of true American regional cooking, and no one knows it better than Isaac Toups. Now the chef of the acclaimed Toups' Meatery and Toups South in New Orleans, he grew up deep in the Atchafalaya Basin of Louisiana, where his ancestors settled 300 years ago. There, hunting and fishing trips provide the ingredients for communal gatherings, and these shrimp and crawfish boils, whole-hog boucheries, fish frys, and backyard cookouts -- form the backbone of this book.

Taking readers from the backcountry to the bayou, Toups shows how to make:

A damn fine gumbo, boudin, dirty rice, crabcakes, and cochon de lait His signature double-cut pork chop and the Toups Burger And more authentic Cajun specialties like Hopper Stew and Louisiana Ditch Chicken.

Along the way, he tells you how to engineer an on-the-fly barbecue pit, stir up a dark roux in only 15 minutes, and apply Cajun ingenuity to just about everything.

Full of salty stories, a few tall tales, and more than 100 recipes that double down on flavor, Chasing the Gator shows how -- and what it means -- to cook Cajun food today.

Get those huge bulky items out of the way
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
Overall this is a super useful garage organizer. For us personally it was not super simple to install because of how many pieces they are - but once you get it all sorted out it will be worth it! It is strong yet we have not been able to test their supposed weight capacity it claims it can hold. It is not difficult to hang things off of and they hang nicely out of the way. Currently we have our strollers and folding wagon hanging on it along with some gardening tools. I do think storage capacity wise could be improved. Overall though I think it’s great value for the money considering how sturdy it feels and getting those huge bulky items out of the way.

The hooks slide side to side while “secured” the rails.

You get what you pay for
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
You should stagger each rail when installing. If you put them in a straight line there’s not enough space to properly use all of the hooks.

Outstanding quality, smart design, and built for real use
Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks, Color: 48‘’ Metal Hooks
It’s sturdy, well-made, and thoroughly designed. I was so impressed that I decided to get another one and gifted it to a friend, and they love it. The metal rails are thick and solid, and the adjustable hooks are heavy duty with a protective coating that prevents scratches of tools. Everything feels durable and secure. No bending or wobbling, even when loaded with shovels, brakes, brooms, ladders, and other garden tools. The 440 pound capacity is no exaggeration. Installation is pretty straightforward and the flexibility to position. The hooks makes it easy to customize for different tool sizes.
