NEW YORK – August 16, 2018 – Sam and Cody Carroll are two young and talented chefs who own and operate a pair of Louisiana restaurants while also running their family farm. Add in one adorable daughter, and you get an idea of how busy life can be on the new series Cajun Aces, premiering Saturday, August 25th at 12pm ET/PT on Food Network. Join Cody and Sam over six episodes as they share recipes rooted in their Cajun background, while showcasing delicious and easy recipes at home without sacrificing flavor. From the kitchen on their family farm, Sam and Cody make dishes that are just as tasty as their restaurant favorites, but done with simple ingredients filled with love for family and friends.
“Sam and Cody bring their rich Cajun recipes and culture to Food Network with sweet and savory dishes perfect for any occasion,” said Courtney White, General Manager and Executive Vice President, Programming, Food Network and HGTV. “While running two restaurants and tending to their farm is no easy feat, these Cajun Aces do it all with aplomb, inspiring viewers to create their own traditions along the way.”
In the premiere Sam and Cody celebrate Friday night at home with a Southern Louisiana tradition – a fish fry. They have the perfect menu featuring Thin Cut Catfish with Spillway Sauce, a locally-grown Farmer’s Caviar Bean Salad, and a fruity rum mix called Fish Camp Punch to wash it down. This party is going to be right next to the pond on the family farm, and front and center will be Sam’s Chicken Thighs and Smoked Sausage Gumbo served with Creole Potato Salad, perfect to serve in the same bowl as true Cajuns know. Other episodes during the season feature Cody and Sam planning an entire family dinner using cast iron pot recipes, including Sam’s Shrimp and Corn Soup and Maque Choux Skillet Cornbread; Cody and Sam serving up a quick and Big Easy brunch on the farm using a few time-saving tips; and Sam and Cody perfecting the art of tailgating, with their Sugarcane Smoked Wings with Cane Row BBQ Sauce and Rosemary Ranch. Don’t miss Sam and Cody all season long as they prepare delicious down-home recipes and add a little Cajun flavor into your life.

I love this show and their recipes. I really hope this becomes a fixture on the channel
I absolutely love Cajun Aces, finally a show about Lousiana. So far they are the Best show on Food Network right now.
I live inChiloquin Oregon but was born outside of New Orleans and was raised on Cajun cooking . I appreciate the show, chefs, food and instructions. Thank you food network.
The ease that Sam and Cody have in the kitchen makes anyone feel that they could prepare food like these two pros. I tried the cast iron skillet blackberry cobbler recipe and it was a hit with my friends and family….so easy to make that I can almost remember the entire recipe in my head. Especially liked the fact that the show is about interesting food and regional cooking and not chefs trying to be cute and clever. I watched…. I learned something.
Great show! Informative and fun… best cooking show in along time ! No “bam” ,yelling , fast screechy talking or ridiculous competitions….Just plain good food by knowledgeable, fun loving couple !
I actually just learned about Cajun Aces. So I was watching the episode of “Party at the Pond” and saw how they cooked their chicken and sausage gumbo. I was amazed, so I went out and bought all the ingredients and made a gumbo the way they did….It was amazing!!! It is not the way we normally cook gumbo, but darn it was good, and I may be changing my usual way of cooking it. Can’t wait to try their restaurant “Hot Tails”….First I have heard of it also and only live 45 minutes away. Thanks Cajun Aces!! Love your… Read more »
So good to see REAL CAJUNS on TV !!
Love the show !
First time watching Cajun Aces. I love it. This young couple did a great job showing and telling how they cook. They made you feel you was right there. I watch cooking shows all the time. I would give this young team a 12-14 pts if we was going 1-10 pts scale. The down to earth style of the show got me.
I love the food and the show!!
My father’s family is from NOLA. Everyone has their gumbo version, and I enjoyed seeing another. Love to see Creole/Cajun shows on TV and this one looks like fun.
Enjoying this show
