Lafayette fire captain Coby Bailey has used his Cajun roots and culinary skills to make it through five rounds of "The Great American Recipe," and he may take home the crown this week.

Bailey will face off against two other home chefs in the Season 4 finale. The Acadiana man and U.S. Navy veteran has worked for the Lafayette Fire Department for decades and also makes "Captain Coby," a line of Cajun seasoning.

Bailey told The Acadiana Advocate he hasn't been surprised the judges enjoy his cooking.

"I think we have the best food in the world," he said this week.
