Louisiana Legend Paul Prudhomme Dead at 75
 

I didn't know he was that old;

R.I.P. He has done a lot for Louisiana

Iconic Cajun and Creole chef Paul Prudhomme has died at the age of 75. Per WWL in New Orleans, a rep from Prudhomme's restaurant, K-Paul's Louisiana Kitchen, says Prudhomme's death comes in the wake of "a brief illness."

Prudhomme first rose to fame as the executive chef of the legendary New Orleans restaurant Commander's Palace, where he's largely credited with helping to revolutionize Creole cuisine; he opened K-Paul's in the French Quarter in 1979, where it's still a major draw for tourists today.
