Personal Life
Prudhomme has had a long running issue with his weight, resulting in him working from an electric wheelchair on occasion. In order to lose weight, he wrote his 1993 cookbook, Chef Paul Prudhomme's Fork in the Road, which he deliberately avoided marking as a low fat cookbook in order to prevent customers from being put off by the premise after testing the recipes at K-Paul's Kitchen in New Orleans. In 1986, Prudhomme's second wife, Kay, was diagnosed with lung cancer. After seven years, she died on 31 December 1993.
