Welcome to The Crumb Coated Cajun
,

Well, well, well—look who wandered into my little corner of creativity. Welcome, darlin’. You’re in for a ride (whether it’s smooth or spicy depends on my mood). Around here, we don’t do bland, boring, or predictable. The Crumb Coated Cajun is where food, art, and a whole lotta imagination collide in the most wonderfully chaotic way.

I’m Jonathan Neil—chef, artist, storyteller, builder, and a maker of all things bold. For over 13 years, I’ve taught the masses through Williams Sonoma cooking classes, sharing my love for the culinary arts with a dash (or a heavy-handed Cajun shake) of personality. But cooking is just one slice of the pie.




So kick off your shoes, grab a drink, and get lost in this whimsical, twisted, and wonderfully crumb-coated world of mine. You just might leave inspired, hungry, or plottingyour next creative adventure.


Bienvenue, bébé. Let’s get messy.
