These sound good, but is there something that makes them Bayou or is it just a name? Just wondering :)

I found this one in a Southern Living article - http://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1933540

I don't think that there is anything specific about the "bayou" name. I wondered about this myself.......
