Top 10 Louisiana Products

#10 - Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning (Opelousas)
This one’s is a must have in every house. Chicken, rice, eggs, you name it. Tony’s seasoning just works, and it always has. If you grew up here, you know that sound of the lid shaking.

#9 - Camellia Brand Red Beans (New Orleans)
Red beans and rice doesnt really scream Christmas, but down here it fits just fine.

#8 - Slap Ya Mama Cajun Pepper Sauce (Ville Platte)
Sometimes that dish needs a little more spice. A few drops of this always gets the job done.

#7 - Turducken from Hebert’s Specialty Meats (Lake Charles)
Right here in SWLA. They take a chicken stuff it in a duck, then stuff that into a turkey. It’s a conversation starter for sure.

#6 - Cajun Land Seasonings (Metairie)
They make all them good seasoning mixes. No guessing. No stress. Just good food on the table.

#5 - Ambrosia Bakery Cakes (Baton Rouge)
Spice cake, Ambrosia cake, big slices and zero regrets. It might not be “traditional,” but nobody argues once dessert gets served.

#4 - McIlhenny TABASCO Sauce (Avery Island)
Do I even need to explain? Everyone should know what Tabasco is.

#3 - Blanca Isabel’s Purple Rice (Rayne)
Though I have never tried this, when I was doing my research this is defiantly interesting. A cool little twist that still feels right at home.

#2 - Steen’s Cane Syrup (Abbeville)
Pure Louisiana sugar cane. Glaze the ham, sweeten the tea, or mix it into a sauce.

#1 - Community Coffee (Baton Rouge)
Christmas morning don’t start without it. That first pot brewing before the sun comes up says more than any decoration ever could. Community Coffee will always be number 1 in Louisiana.

That’s Christmas in Louisiana. Simple, warm, and full of flavor. Just the way we like it.
