			<title>All Green Things Must Come to an End</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Have you noticed the sea of &amp;#8220;green, eco-friendly&amp;#8221; products invading the shelves at your local supermarket? It seems as though everyone wants to be earth-friendly; it&amp;#8217;s the chic thing to do. Well, as you well know, the &amp;#8220;little green can&amp;#8221; has been our unique selling point for as long as we&amp;#8217;ve been in business. But nowadays, we just feel lost on the shelf. So, after 38 years, we&amp;#8217;ve decided to embrace a new color and a new way of thinking. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Introducing the new and improved Tony Chachere&amp;#8217;s Original Creole Seasoning in our Electric Fuschia can.&amp;nbsp; Doesn&amp;#8217;t that grab your attention? Purple represents so much about our great state of Lousiana: Mardi Gras, dem Fightin&amp;#8217; Tigers, and the one-eyed, one-horned flying purple people-eater (by the way, Tony&amp;#8217;s is his favorite seasoning, too). &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;We know you may have been fond of the little green can, but we&amp;#8217;re hoping you love us enough to change with us! &lt;br&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/April-Fools-can.JPG&quot; width=&quot;305&quot; height=&quot;500&quot; /&gt;

			<title>The Great American Race and Tailgate</title>
			<description>The Tony's Tailgate team was lucky enough to be in Daytona for the biggest race of the NASCAR season, the Daytona 500.If you are not a NASCAR fan, then you need to know that there are a few series in NASCAR, the Camping World Truck series, the Nationwide Series (stock cars) and the main event the Sprint Cup series. Our team was excited to be able to share our Creole cuisine and hospitality with all of the racefans over the weekend.&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/Daytonamotorspeedway.jpg&quot; width=&quot;390&quot; height=&quot;259&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Both mornings were cold and windy, but the die hard Tailgate team was up and ready for the challenge of cooking in near freezing temperatures. We were prepared for any hunger with &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/creole-jambalaya-mix-8-oz-p-21687.html&quot;&gt;Tony Chachere's Jambalaya Dinner Mix&lt;/a&gt;, Creole Fries and King Cake for all to enjoy. As a team, we have participated in&amp;nbsp; so many tailgates in our home region, that we have gotten really accustomed to hearing all of the praise for all of our products, this tailgate in Daytona was a totally different story. We were faced with people who had never even heard of Tony Chachere's or any of our tasty products but, With the help of our advertising agency, Benedict Advertising, we were able to educate this new group of fans on not only our product but the Louisiana way of living and Mardi Gras. All it took was a taste of the creole fries (fries sprinkled with &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/original-creole-seasoning-17-oz-p-21715.html&quot;&gt;Tony Chachere's Original Seasoning&lt;/a&gt; instead of salt) or jambalaya (or both) and each taster was a new fan, each walking away with a small can for their own use!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/hotSamples.jpg&quot; width=&quot;390&quot; height=&quot;259&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div&gt;After the tailgates on each day we had the opportunity to watch the races, on Saturday the Nationwide Race and then The Great American Race on Sunday. As all race fans know, any weekend at Daytona Motor Speedway is a great weekend, and with our fantastic seats, it could be any better! The Nationwide race was windy but enjoyable watching the 100 laps around the track and Tony Stewart's win. Sunday's race started out warmer, but quickly turned cold and only got colder with two red flags (stopping the race) adding a few hours to the race time for patching the track. As always, you can't predict what will happen or who will win at Daytona. We all congratulate Jamie McMurray on his first time win at the Daytona 500.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/startoftherace.jpg&quot; width=&quot;390&quot; height=&quot;259&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>This One's for the Kids</title>
			<description>&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#8217;s 2010: a new year, the start of a new decade, and time to embrace a new way of thinking. Over the past 38 years, your love and support of the &amp;#8220;little green can&amp;#8221; and all things Tony Chachere&amp;#8217;s have made it possible for us to grow into the company we are today. We want to show our thanks by giving back; to our local community and to communities like ours all over the country.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Last week, Todd, Cindy, Samantha, and I traveled to Daytona Beach, FL to tailgate for the Daytona 500 Race Weekend, but on Friday (2/12/10) we made a very special visit to the Boys and Girls Club of Holly Hill. Around 150 kids between the ages of 5 -18 from seven nearby BGCA&amp;#8217;s came together to join us for a Mardi Gras celebration! We spent the afternoon cooking for the kids and getting to know them, singing along and dancing to Mardi Gras music, draping each other with Mardi Gras beads, and feasting on Tony Chachere&amp;#8217;s chicken and sausage jambalaya, salad, dinner rolls, and King Cake!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309662982057_116211957057_3598461_889758_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The kids learned about Louisiana&amp;#8217;s signature carnival holiday, and we found out about the wonderful things that the Boys &amp;amp; Girls Club can do for America&amp;#8217;s children, such as provide a SafePlace, encourage higher standards in education, and stimulate a child&amp;#8217;s creativity and self-esteem (learn more at &lt;a href=&quot;http://bgca.org&quot; title=&quot;bcga.org&quot;&gt;bgca.org&lt;/a&gt;).&amp;nbsp; Friends from the Council on Aging and the local police department stopped by to grab a plate and share in the festivities. Even the mayor of Holly Hill dropped in to issue a proclamation in honor of the occasion!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663217057_116211957057_3598480_6503220_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once everyone had their fill, we had a few more surprises up our sleeves. Hal Martin, driver of the #17 car in the ARCA series, came out in full racing gear to spend time with the kids, answer questions, and sign autographs. He was a huge hit! Watching the reaction on the kids&amp;#8217; faces when he entered the room was an experience we&amp;#8217;ll cherish for some time to come. (Check out what Hal had to say about the event in his latest press release: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.halmartinracing.com/02242010.html&quot; title=&quot;Hal Martin Racing&quot;&gt;http://www.halmartinracing.com/02242010.html&lt;/a&gt; ) Cubby, the Daytona Cubs&amp;#8217; mascot, was also standing by for hugs and photo opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663197057_116211957057_3598479_562118_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The afternoon drew to a close with a make-your-own Mardi Gras mask contest, which we were asked to judge and happily obliged. It was a tough decision, but we picked four winners who received special limited edition purple long sleeved Tony&amp;#8217;s tees!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663142057_116211957057_3598474_6811017_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At 6pm, we said our goodbyes and made our way over to the Daytona Beach branch of the Salvation Army to donate the leftover food to those in need. What a rewarding experience. I daresay we had more fun than the kids did!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/sc00000bc6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663217057_116211957057_3598480_6503220_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Once everyone had their fill, we had a few more surprises up our sleeves. Hal Martin, driver of the #17 car in the ARCA series, came out in full racing gear to spend time with the kids, answer questions, and sign autographs. He was a huge hit! Watching the reaction on the kids&amp;#8217; faces when he entered the room was an experience we&amp;#8217;ll cherish for some time to come. (Check out what Hal had to say about the event in his latest press release: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.halmartinracing.com/02242010.html&quot; title=&quot;Hal Martin Racing&quot;&gt;http://www.halmartinracing.com/02242010.html&lt;/a&gt; ) Cubby, the Daytona Cubs&amp;#8217; mascot, was also standing by for hugs and photo opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663197057_116211957057_3598479_562118_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The afternoon drew to a close with a make-your-own Mardi Gras mask contest, which we were asked to judge and happily obliged. It was a tough decision, but we picked four winners who received special limited edition purple long sleeved Tony&amp;#8217;s tees!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/22738_309663142057_116211957057_3598474_6811017_n.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;199&quot; /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;At 6pm, we said our goodbyes and made our way over to the Daytona Beach branch of the Salvation Army to donate the leftover food to those in need. What a rewarding experience. I daresay we had more fun than the kids did!&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;img src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/48/sc00000bc6.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; width=&quot;300&quot; height=&quot;290&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</itunes:summary>

			<title>Tailgate Tour 2009</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Fall is here and so is football. Whether you love highschool football, college football, or the NFL -&amp;nbsp;everyone loves to tailgate! And we here at Tony Chachere&#8217;s are no different. This year we have decided to join in on the fun and take our very first &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/tonychacheres?v=app_2347471856#/note.php?note_id=131537313926&quot;&gt;Tailgate Tour&lt;/a&gt; on the road, bringing great tasting food and Southern Hospitality to every tailgate we visit! Because it is our first tour, we are starting small with just a few SEC and Big 12 schools..but don&#8217;t worry; if we don&#8217;t stop at your school this year we will be there for one of our future tours!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tonychachere.com/en/photos/albums/v/2&quot;&gt;&lt;img title=&quot;Tony Tailgates in Florida&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left; float: left;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/FloridaTailgate.jpg&quot; width=&quot;199&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;149&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp; Our first stop this season was in Gainesville, Florida for the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.tonychachere.com/en/photos/albums/v/2&quot;&gt;Tennessee v. Florida&lt;/a&gt; matchup. What a great kickoff to the tour! We had a great time introducing so many wonderful people to our products. We served Tony Chachere&#8217;s&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/creole-jambalaya-mix-8-oz-p-21687.html&quot;&gt; Jambalaya&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/roasted-garlic-herb-17-oz-p-21704.html&quot;&gt;Roasted Garlic &amp;amp; Herb Injectable Marinade &lt;/a&gt;injected pork loin, and shrimp fried in Tony Chachere&#8217;s &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/seasoned-fish-fry-mix-10-oz-p-21700.html&quot;&gt;Seasoned Fish Fry&lt;/a&gt;. We handed out the &#8220;purse-sized&#8221; 3.25 oz. cans of our &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/seasonings-c-8030.html&quot;&gt;Original Seasoning&lt;/a&gt; and even had a few tshirts to give to the fans out in Florida who were already loyal users of our products!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;img title=&quot;Serving fans&quot; style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/LSU1.jpg&quot; width=&quot;192&quot; align=&quot;right&quot; border=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;142&quot; /&gt;The next stop on the Tailgate Tour was close to home, just down the road in Baton Rouge, LA. An iconic matchup: &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/tonychacheres?v=photos#/album.php?aid=115453&amp;amp;id=116211957057&quot;&gt;Florida v. LSU&lt;/a&gt;. We were amazed at how many fans of both teams showed up in the pouring rain and knee-deep mud to tailgate and show support for their respective teams! This was a crowd full of Tony Chachere&#8217;s Fans, most of which were raised never having to know life &lt;em&gt;without&lt;/em&gt; the green can. We enjoyed handing out our new can-eriffic coozies and hearing all of the stories about how much everyone loves and uses all of our products. Two weeks later, our second tailgate stop in Baton Rouge was just as much fun (without the rain and mud) for the &lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.facebook.com/tonychacheres?v=photos#/album.php?aid=119476&amp;amp;id=116211957057&quot;&gt;Auburn v. LSU&lt;/a&gt; game.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Most recently, we headed north to Grambling State&#8217;s Homecoming game against Mississippi Valley and enjoyed a laid-back, fun-and-food-filled afternoon with our friends in north Louisiana&#8230;Next stop: Mississippi State/Alabama (Starkville, AL) on Nov. 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; &#8211; stay tuned for details!&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; We still have several dates ahead of us and we are looking forward to all of them! Check the Tailgate Tour Schedule to see if we are coming to your school, or maybe even your favorite NFL team! But don&#8217;t be discouraged if we don&#8217;t get to see you this year, we are already working on the schedule for next year and we&#8217;d love to see you next fall!&lt;/p&gt;

Looks like Lil&#8217; Tony is at it once again. Spreading the news that his
Famous Creole Seasoning, &#8220;makes everything taste great&#8221;. From family
kitchens to school cafeterias, to back yard barbecues, Lil&#8217; Tony is
telling folks to replace their salt and pepper with his Famous Creole
Seasoning. It has been almost 6 years since Tony Chachere&#8217;s produced
our last TV commercial. I&#8217;m sure all of our fans remember &#8220;A whole
lotta shakin&#8217; going on&#8221;. Now the message is, &#8220;Turn that same ole into
Creole!&#8221;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Tony Chachere&#8217;s Creative Director, Todd Ardoin and Food Scientist,
Cindy Ardoin along with our great friends at Benedict Advertising and
some very talented people set out to produce a couple of 30 second
commercials highlighting Lil&#8217; Tony, his Famous Creole Seasoning as well
as his Injectable Marinade.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The Creole Seasoning commercial follows Lil&#8217; Tony as he surprises
people while they are cooking. He lends a helping hand by kicking out
their &#8220;same ole&#8221; salt and pepper and replacing it with his Creole
Seasoning. It seems once they try it, they just can&#8217;t part with it.
It&#8217;s not always easy for the little guy as he lands on a grill, in a
backpack and on a crowded party table.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;In the Injectable Marinade commercial, Lil Tony saves the day once
again. A couple is faced with preparing the traditional holiday family
turkey&#8230; for the picky Mother-in-law. Lil Tony helps the couple by
showing them how easy it is to prepare and cook a mouthwatering, tender
turkey.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;These spots will be running nationally as well as regional from October
through January. We also produced four 30 second radio spots which
will air before, during and after all of the SEC football games this
fall. Keep on the lookout for these and let us know what you think.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Tony Chachere's Tailgates in Daytona, FL for the Nascar Coke Zero 400.</title>
			<description>It was one hot fourth of July weekend in Daytona, Florida this year, but that did not stop the races or the celebrations. Daytona hosted a weekend of races at Daytona International Speedway all culminating with the Nascar Coke Zero 400 Cup Series Race on Saturday night. Families and friends traditionally gather together in groves to tailgate and enjoy all the festivities. Wait...what was that....tailgate?...Yes, and if there is anything Louisiana people know how to do is tailgate.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Long time Tony Chachere's employees, Todd Ardoin, Creative Director and Cindy Adams-Ardoin, Food Scientist made the trip out to Florida to enjoy time with Tony Chachere's advertising agency, Benedict Advertising and catch some races. BA hosted a weekend long tailgating party. Todd and Cindy thought they would bring some Tony Chachere's goodness to the gathering.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
On Friday, Todd and Cindy set up camp with their burner, pot, veggies, fresh shrimp and crawfish, and of course, Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning. With Todd as her sous chef, Cindy prepared a traditional etouffee with 15 pounds of seafood! The 20 quart pot was full and the rice was hot. When Cindy announced &#8220;Come and Get It!,&#8221; you better look like getting out of the way of the Floridians! Within 10 minutes, it was all gone. Proving one more time, Louisiana cooking with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasonings is as good as it gets!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Many thanks to Benedict Advertising for letting a couple of Tony Chachere's guys crash the party! Oh yeah, the races were great too!

Wait...what was that....tailgate?...Yes, and if there is anything Louisiana people know how to do is tailgate.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Long time Tony Chachere's employees, Todd Ardoin, Creative Director and Cindy Adams-Ardoin, Food Scientist made the trip out to Florida to enjoy time with Tony Chachere's advertising agency, Benedict Advertising and catch some races. BA hosted a weekend long tailgating party. Todd and Cindy thought they would bring some Tony Chachere's goodness to the gathering.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
On Friday, Todd and Cindy set up camp with their burner, pot, veggies, fresh shrimp and crawfish, and of course, Tony Chachere's More Spice Seasoning. With Todd as her sous chef, Cindy prepared a traditional etouffee with 15 pounds of seafood! The 20 quart pot was full and the rice was hot. When Cindy announced &#8220;Come and Get It!,&#8221; you better look like getting out of the way of the Floridians! Within 10 minutes, it was all gone. Proving one more time, Louisiana cooking with Tony Chachere's Creole Seasonings is as good as it gets!&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Many thanks to Benedict Advertising for letting a couple of Tony Chachere's guys crash the party! Oh yeah, the races were great too!</itunes:summary>

&lt;div&gt;As it turned out, thanks to John Madden most folks have heard of the &lt;strong&gt;Tur duc hen&lt;/strong&gt;. Over the past few years during the halftime show at the Superbowl he showcases our trademark item, but still most people have never tried it. Well, after 3 long days and over 3000 samples given out we have broken into that market. The phone hasn't stopped ringing since we finished the show. With 2 flavors available, including the &lt;a title=&quot;Turduckhen Roll&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/turduchens-c-8018.html&quot;&gt;Tur-duc-hen Roll&lt;/a&gt;, and more coming in the near future this should be an incredible holiday season as more and more folks enjoy this special treat.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Exactly Why Does Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning Make Everything Taste Great?</title>
			<description>&lt;img style=&quot;border-color: #ffffff;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/9/Tony-Cookbook-Cover-240x300.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;5&quot; height=&quot;300&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; width=&quot;240&quot; /&gt;Considering the company Tony Chachere's Creole Foods, Inc. and myself were born only one year apart, this iconic seasoning has been a part of my entire life. Growing up cooking with my Mom and Grandmother from a very young age on the bayous of South Louisiana, we always had a &quot;little green can&quot; in the cupboard. I can rarely recall a meal cooked without our &quot;Tony's.&quot; So to me, Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning just simply is a staple of every meal and until I came to work for the company in 1995, I never gave that question much thought. That is, until I participated in my first consumer show and a customer wanted to know why is it our seasoning is so much better than any other product on the market. What makes it different?&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
As the &quot;keeper&quot; of the secret recipe. . ..Here it is. . ..NOT! Got your attention? I knew that would work. All kidding aside, it was at that point I really had a new respect for the founder of our company, Tony Chachere. Not a formally trained Chef, Mr. Tony had an understanding of balancing salt and pepper with just right amount of staple Cajun/Creole seasonings. Nothing fancy, but Oh So Good! He was an innovator of a now top category of retail spices. And trust me, there is no need to mess with perfection, thus, we have maintained his original recipe with high quality spices and careful attention to the make of salt we use. Unfortunately for me, Mr. Tony passed away just short of my interview with the company. Everyone tells me, we would have been great friends. I think his seasoning was an extension of his personality, full of life and a little spicy! We all still miss Mr. Tony, but his spirit lives on in the millions of cans of Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning that have been produced.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
I have come to the conclusion it is a two part answer to that infamous question I was asked back in 1995. Mr. Tony Chachere, the &quot;Ole Master&quot;, himself and his creative use of Cajun/Creole spices in just the right combination is the reason why Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning, Makes Everything Taste Great!&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Alexander Alex Beaupere Chachere August 20, 1932 - April 6, 2010</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;Today we mourn the loss of our former President and CEO, Mr. Alex Chachere. Mr. Alex was a major part of our history as a company and frequented the facilities even in retirement. He will be greatly missed.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/15/Mr.Alex.jpg&quot; width=&quot;100&quot; height=&quot;83&quot; /&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Alex died peacefully at his home on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. 2:10 AM. Despite the physical limitations of Parkinson&amp;#8217;s Disease, Alex remained determined to be optimistic throughout his struggle. In the Chachere tradition, Alex lived life to the fullest. He was a world traveler, a boxing enthusiast and an avid hunter and fisherman. He was a true businessman, having operated Tony Chachere &amp;amp; Sons Insurance Agency with his brother, Doug Chachere, and brother-in-law, James Wallace, from 1969 through 1981. He was a certified life underwriter. Beginning in 1982, Alex was President and CEO of Tony Chachere's Creole Foods until his retirement in 2000, bringing the local Opelousas company to national prominence. During his tenure, Alex was named 1991 Louisiana Small Business Person of the year. In retirement, Alex remained a member of the Board of Directors of Tony Chachere Creole Foods. Alex was a long time member of the Opelousas Elks Lodge #1048. He will be remembered as generous to his employees, loyal to his friends and loving to his family. His determination and independent spirit will be greatly missed.&lt;br&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;For funeral arrangements and words of comfort to the family please visit&lt;br&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;a target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://www.sibillefuneralhomes.com/services2.asp?page=odetail&amp;amp;id=12816&amp;amp;locid=7&quot;&gt;www.sibillefuneralhomes.com&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/div&gt;	Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Sibille Funeral Home of Opelousas.</description>

			<title>About Tony Chachere's Brand of Creole Cuisine</title>
			<description>&lt;div&gt;
&lt;img style=&quot;border: 1px solid; margin: 5px; padding: 5px;&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;/attachments/wysiwyg/9/t05.jpg&quot; align=&quot;left&quot; border=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;232&quot; hspace=&quot;5&quot; vspace=&quot;5&quot; width=&quot;342&quot; /&gt;Tony
Chachere  (sa-shur-ee) was a real man, a man who loved life and knew
how to cook. The folks in &lt;strong&gt;Acadiana&lt;/strong&gt; referred to him as the &quot;Ole Master&quot;
of fine &lt;a title=&quot;Creole Culture and Cuisine&quot; href=&quot;/creole-culture/&quot;&gt;Cajun cuisine&lt;/a&gt;. That was almost 100 years ago.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Today, the Tony Chachere's Brand has grown from the simple &lt;a title=&quot;Tony Chachere's Creole Seasonings&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/seasonings-c-8030.html&quot;&gt;Creole Seasoning&lt;/a&gt; to
almost everything you'd like to pour it on or stir it in. Gumbo,
Jambalaya, Etoufees, Gravies and Rouxs; stuffed chickens, smoked
sausage, boudin and &lt;a title=&quot;Purchase TurDucHens&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/turduchens-c-8018.html&quot;&gt;Tur-duc-hens&lt;/a&gt;, good flavor spreads fast. And it all
began in a little Louisiana town.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;You would need a map and maybe a special guide to find the
corporate offices of Tony Chachere's, buried in the old neighborhood
streets of Opelousas (ah-pel-loo-sas), Louisiana. If you're lucky
you'll find a parking space just before the tracks. Walk in the door
and you'll find out just what Cajun hospitality is.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;Thanks to the internet, you can buy whatever you want from our
&lt;a title=&quot;Shop Tony Chachere's Online Store&quot; href=&quot;http://shop.tonychachere.com/&quot;&gt;online store&lt;/a&gt; from the comfort of you easy-chair, kitchen counter, desk or on
your commute back home. We hope you we can add a little &lt;strong&gt;spice&lt;/strong&gt; to your
life, even if it's only in the kitchen!&lt;/div&gt;

			<title>Buy Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp</title>
			<description> Wild Caught Gulf Shrimp are fished from the warm waters of the American Gulf Coast, packaged and distributed by the Tony Chachere's and French Market Food teams here in Louisiana. Imagine a shrimp trawler pulling in to dock after a satisfying day of shrimping with the hold full of fresh water shrimp. This is the catch of the day!      Tony Chachere knew fresh shrimp was one of the most important ingredients in great Louisiana food. We are proud to offer fresh shrimp from our own neighboring Gulf Coast waters. Our fresh water shrimp are sweet, healthy and our shrimp boats responsibly farm the waters with long term goals in mind.

			<title>Creole Culture &#0038; Food</title>
			<description>Creole Culture    Unlike many other ethnic groups in the United States, Creoles did not migrate from another country. The Creole people by definition are descendants of French, Spanish, or Portuguese settlers living in the West Indies and Latin America. In Louisiana, Creole best identified French-speaking people of French or Spanish decent. Their ancestors were a separate caste of people who were Catholic and retained the traditional cultural traits of related social groups in France.  In present times, Creole has come to represent people of generally mixed background, generally French, African, Spanish, Native American, English, German and Italian.       Creole Cuisine     Louisiana Creole cuisine is recognized as a unique style of cooking, which makes use of the &amp;#8220;Holy Trinity&amp;#8221; (in this case, chopped celery, bell peppers, and onions), but has a great variety of European, French, Caribbean, African, and American influences.      Gumbo is a traditional Creole dish. It was...

			<title>History of Tony Chachere's Creole Foods</title>
			<description> Tony Chachere's&amp;#174; Creole Foods began in 1972 as a retirement hobby for South Louisiana chef Tony Chachere. That year, he published Cajun Country Cookbook, fulfilling a lifelong dream to record the recipes of his beloved South Louisiana cuisine.    In the book, Tony included the recipe for his favorite homemade seasoning blend, and several recipes in the book used the seasoning. It was only a matter of time before users of the cookbook began to demand the seasoning.
