Don't Miss Season 2 Finale Tonight! 7/21/2011
Sadly this will be the last episode of the season.. :*( Im sorry to see them go but excited to see whats to come for SEASON 3! As you all know gator season starts September 1st.
Don't miss the finale tonight on History Channel!
Swamp Showdown
Premiere Date: 07/21/2011
It's the final day of the season, and hunters are in a hurry to fill their remaining tags before time runs out. As Troy and Junior head to run lines for the final time, the bayou is buzzing. Locals are reporting sightings of a giant gator in the area. Both men set their sights on the beast, to win bragging rights in a bayou showdown. Just a few miles away, Junior and Willie are equally determined. As the only crew that uses treble hooks to hunt in open water, they believe they have the advantage. Across the swamp, Joe and Tommy are feeling a different kind of pressure. A storm blows in off the Gulf...and rain soaks their supply of bullets. To make matters worse, they're too far out in the bayou to head back to the dock for more. They will have to make every shot count. Down the bayou, R.J. and Jay Paul are focused on only one thing: tagging out. The boys are in good position to finish by day's end, with sunny skies and smooth water ahead.

Blood Is Thicker Than Water
What an episode last night of Swamp People! I hope you all got to see it and if you didn't, skip on over to History.com and watch the full episode real quick, you'll be glad you did.
The Guist brothers found their meal right off their back porch and made squirrel and dumplings which was their fathers recipe. Sounds delicious doesn't it? Okay, okay... Maybe it isn't for everyone (especially me), but the Guist brothers seem to love it. I still kind felt bad for the one squirrel they shot out of a tree who was eating starting to eat a nut when he met his maker.
We also got to see and alligator rip a gun right from Joe's temporary helper Tim. When will these gators learn... Don't bite the hand that feeds you, or in their case, don't bite the gun that kills you. Poor Tim had to take one for the team and get in the murky waters of the swamp to retrieves Joe's fathers gun.
Troy started out thinking it may be a bad day with water lilies over running his sweet spot but it proved to be untrue and his day turned around quickly and he ended the day with a boat full of gators and if you saw most of the gators he had weren't babies one topped out at 12 foot 7 inches. What a gator! It must have been that lucky blue shirt he is always wearing. Keep up the momentum for this season Troy!
Tommy learned being the captain of his own boat and being left to catch alligators alone was no easy task. After the motor in his boat over heated he admitted defeat to Joe and Joe gladly accepted him back in the boat with him. I hope Tommy can become fully dedicated to the task, in return he will become a better alligator hunter if he does.
All in all it was a very eventful episode. I know it's ending soon but you know they will be filming for next season here shortly. The September alligator season is closely approaching!

Want to try some Alligator cooked to Chef Gordon Ramsay's standards?
So I love a good show as you can tell by this blog. If you have never seen Kitchen Knightmares, Hells Kitchen, Master Chef or The F Word with Gordon Ramsay then you are missing out on one HELL of a show, no pun intended.
Well I was watching Kitchen Knightmares a few nights ago trying to catch up on the seasons episodes when I saw that he had gone to New Orleans, LA for the first time to bring a restaurant back to life and help out a couple whose knowledge in the restaurant business was limited.
Of course I had to watch it being that 1. In New Orleans and 2. Gordon Ramsay had part in it....
Anyways, I thought I would share the restaurant info here in case any of my local neighbors wanted to try it out and give us feedback, I plan on going also...
The name of the restaurant is ZEKE'S, location: 1517 Metairie RoadMetairie, LA 70005
Phone: 504-832-1133
They also have a website with their menu featuring Blackened Alligator.

Tonight on Swamp People
Two Captains, One Family
After starting the season with more tags than anyone, Troy's ahead of the game, and on pace to tag out by season's end. But as Troy's crew approaches today's hot spot, things don't look promising. The landscape has changed drastically and water lilies are now clogging the entire area. Across the bayou, Joe's hunting with his new helper, and so far, the team is working well. Timmy is a pistol marksman, and his work ethic is steadily impressing Joe. Only a few miles away, Tommy is again captaining his own boat, trying to fill Joe's tags and prove he's an elite hunter. Today Tommy is intent to get down to business. But soon, engine troubles threaten to derail the day and Tommy's tenure as captain could be in jeopardy. Deep in the swamp, Glenn and Mitchell have a little time on their hands. For these brothers, that means one thing--they're ready to hunt. They're intent to cook up their Dad's Famous Squirrel and Dumplings, so they'll need to bag a mess for their pot.
