What the creator captured
Mark Wiens was fascinated by the legendary two-pound stuffed turkey wings at Laura's Two, which are prepared using a third-generation family recipe. He marveled at the intense use of cayenne pepper and the meticulous process of stuffing a spicy garlic paste into the meat before a three-hour bake. The highlight for Mark was witnessing the deep-rooted Creole soul food traditions and the historical connection to local cayenne pepper farming.
