Justin Elmer Wilson (April 24, 1914 – September 5, 2001) was a Southern American chef and humorist known for his brand of Cajun-inspired cuisine, humor and storytelling.

[citation needed] Wilson began his career as a safety engineer while he traveled throughout Acadiana.

He hosted several cooking shows on Louisiana Public Broadcasting (LPB) during the 1980s and 1990s including “Louisiana Cookin’,” which was distributed nationally on Public Broadcasting Services (PBS) and at least one in 1975, for Mississippi Educational Television (ETV),[1] that combined Cajun cooking and humor.

Wison appeared in a series of television commercials for Cajun Spice Ruffles potato chips during the late 1980s.

Southern author Harnett T. Kane said of Wilson: "I know of no one [else] who portrays the Louisiana Cajun as well, so skillfully and entertainingly".

James Domengeaux, a former member of Congress and founder of CODOFIL, considered Wilson a degrader of the Cajun people.

[6] He had one son and three daughters: Harry D. Wilson II, Sara Sue, Pam, and Menette.
