Season 2 Plot
Through the blackwater bayous and in the dark Louisiana night, floats a duck camp, alive with the sounds of swamp pop and the smells of Cajun cooking. A refuge filled with gunpowder, tall tales, and boudin; this duck camp is a welcomed outpost for hunters escaping the noise of everyday life. Over these next 8 episodes, we’ll see what it means to cook recipes from the “swamp floor pantry”, and explore Louisiana’s rich complicated history with the outdoors.
Duck Camp Dinners Season 2 aired on August 11th, 2022.
