On episode two of the third season of the Between Bites podcast, Nina Compton and Larry Miller are joined by Chef Melissa Martin, owner of the Mosquito Supper Club in New Orleans.

Chef Melissa explains the foundational philosophy of the Mosquito Supper Club, emphasizing the connection to Cajun culture and the importance of using local, fresh ingredients sourced from Louisiana with the goal of preserving Cajun heritage and traditions.

Discussion shifts to Chef Melissa's two books, Mosquito Supper Club: Cajun Recipes from a Disappearing Bayou and Bayou: Feasting Through the Seasons of a Cajun Life, as she aims to dispel common myths and stereotypes about Cajun life and cuisine.

Later we learn about Chef's new project on the West Bank of New Orleans where guests will be able to get a quick escape from the city life and experience a mix of hospitality and local culture while enjoying the beauty of the Mississippi River.
