Welcome!

As some of you may know, I am the other half of Mr. Pete, or the better half as I like to say. lol All jokes aside, I am the person behind the scenes bringing to you the authentic Cajun flavors of Mr. Pete!

Here we are, Mr. Pete and I, celebrating one of our customer's 25th Anniversary!

A LITTLE HISTORY FIRST:

My father-in-law is the "original" Mr. Pete. He began creating his own blends of spices many moons ago in his restaurants. Some of you may be familiar with Miss Brandie's Seafood Restaurant in Houma, LA. If you are not, it was a well-known restaurant delivering the finest most authentic Cajun dishes for the locals to enjoy. Since its untimely demise by fire, Mr. Pete knew he still wanted to offer his same great blends to his customers and his friends. So he and my husband began mixing! In 2006, my father in law opened the business. For the six years my fil ran the business, he was able to grow his market and offer his product line at many of the local markets.

THE TAKE OVER:

My husband and I were approached by him in July of last year (2011) to take over the business, as his time would not allow for this great feat. We were thrilled with his faith in our abilities to continue to offer his blends to the people. And so began our journey...

We immeditately began talking to everyone who would listen about these products. We participated in many local charity events, ran articles in local newpapers, and offered promotions on our products. We have also begun demonstrating the products in various supermarkets. After all, we believe that once you try it, you'll Get Hooked On It!!!

We managed to grow our market to include more locations in Southeast Louisiana and Mississippi! We are also very excited about our newest client, who will be offering our products from Texas to Florida! We are extremely  proud of our products, and we are adding new ones each coming day! You can find all of our products for purchase here.

WHAT WE DO:

We have entered the world of social media to share, not only our authentic southern seasonings, but also our Cajun cuisine. We offer you traditional Cajun recipes and delicious chats. So come in, have a seat at our table, and let us show you what we're cooking in our Cajun kitchen! If you do try any of our products and/or dishes, please let us know!
