This week Chef Folse entices viewers with a variety of tasty dishes made from the Alligator that includes a sizzling hot Alligator Sauce Piquante, and a platter of golden brown perfection, Cajun-Fried Alligator. The Alligator was close to extinction in 1967, but by 1987, conservation efforts had them thriving. With continued management the Alligator can be hunted without danger to their population.
