Former LSU standout, NFL wide receiver, and New Orleans native Malachi Dupre joins Jonathan Forstall on this episode of Local Legends to share his incredible journey from being kicked out of eight schools to becoming one of the nation's top football recruits. He reflects on Hurricane Katrina, his time at John Curtis and LSU, life in the NFL, and the lessons that shaped him on and off the field. Today, Malachi has traded the field for the table as the co-founder of Kenji Kazoku, bringing the same passion, discipline, and teamwork that fueled his football career into New Orleans' culinary scene.
