ABOUT THE CHEF: Chef Neil “Nino” Thibodaux

Chef Nino was born in Franklin, Louisiana. A stint in the Air Force after high school as an F-15 jet mechanic included a month at a remote base near Cagliari in Sardinia. After earning a Bachelor of Arts degree from Trinity College in Jacksonville, Florida, and an honorary doctorate from Victory Baptist College in North Augusta, South Carolina, Nino returned to Italy, where he lived for 13 years. When Nino returned to the United States, he settled in Houma, Louisiana, and began teaching private cooking classes. Inspired by his stay in Italy, he then launched the Culinary Institute of Friends of Italy. Nino has been teaching monthly cooking classes and doing cooking demonstrations and events for Rouses Markets for over 10 years. It has a mild, low-salt Cajun seasoning blend called Adrenaline Seasoning, which is available in all Rouses markets in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Lower Alabama.
