Ready to let the good times roll in 2021? How about a FREE ‘The Basics of Creole Cooking’ cookbook by simply calling 1-888-827-3653 since just because we are staying socially distanced doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate and have our own version of Mardi Gras New Orleans in a few weeks. To talk more about Creole Foods, we welcome Corporate Chef Gaye Sandoz of Tony Chachere's Creole Foods. Tony Chachere’s Creole Foods was started almost 100 years ago by the ‘Ole Master’ of Cajun Cuisine with his now world famous ‘Creole Seasoning’ and continues to be owned and operated by the Chachere family. The business continued to grow, and now produces a variety of products including: marinades (injectable and pourable), quick fix rice dinner mixes – jambalaya, gumbo, dirty rice, red beans and rice; and new seasonings such as: salt free, more spice, spice n herbs; and even a Bloody Mary mix to bring a little Visit New Orleans to your home. Then to keep the good times rolling with our Cajun Mardi Gras New Orleans theme and talk about delicious seafood we will chat with Jeff Schroth the General Manager at NJ / PA Crab Du Jour USA locations who has you covered if you don’t feel like doing the cooking yourself during your Mardi Gras celebration. Their Cajun-inspired eatery is known for fresh seafood boils (made for sharing) and an array of signature house-blended sauces, to enhance the experience. Delicious home-style seafood with generous portions is what you can expect with every meal. They’re cooking up crab, crawfish, calamari, and lobster in the kitchen, made fresh daily. Not into shellfish? Try their Po’Boys, Cajun Wings, Hush Puppies, and other delicious menu options. The Crab Du Jour restaurant chain consists of 60 independently owned and operated locations in 12 states. The first restaurant opened in Raleigh, NC in 2019. Crab Du Jour is prioritizing the rapidly evolving health and wellness regulations on the hospitality industry while simultaneously managing their brand expansion as there will be 130 restaurants open nationwide by the end of 2021. We do need to remember Mardi Gras isn’t the only big event in February. The other day to get ready for of course is Valentine’s Day.
