It’s here, it’s here!  The holiday season is here!

This holiday season will be the biggest in our company’s history.  We’ve introduced several new items, as well as expanded our distribution across the entire U.S. of A.  We work hard all year long producing quality products  to make sure we’ve got everything in the stores for you, come the holiday season.  We’ve purchased nearly 350,000 chickens, 40,000 whole turkeys, and 40,000 pounds of duck.  Yeah, that’s a lot of bird!  To top it all off, we still hand process each and every fine fowl to ensure that you get the delicious foods you’ve come to enjoy.

Turduchen or turducken? Both taste GREAT!

It’s an exciting time for turduchen, too!  The turduchens (which you may know as “tur-duc-hen” or “turducken” – whatever floats your boat!) are being introduced to all new customers in the Northeast area based on our participation in the Fancy Food Show in New York City.  We know; those Yankees won’t know what hit ‘em!  In an effort to share Tony Chachere’s with dinner tables across the country, we’ve also worked with The Kroger Co. to put our product in their stores.  This, combined with our new website rollout, makes getting your hands on a Turduchen even easier.

Our new feature-packed website has been a great asset to the company.  Along with the new Online Store, we have recipes, photos, videos, stories, history, and of course, this blog that’s overflowing with information!

We’ve also taken this opportunity to make the ordering process easier on our wonderful customers.  You can now select ground or 3-Day shipping, bringing costs down for our customers considerably.  Our products are shipped in insulated chests with dry ice, meaning you can rest assured that your package will arrive frozen and ready for cooking.  Now, our fans across the United States can enjoy our items every day of the year, but especially during the holiday season.

Cornbread stuffed with seafood is heaven.

Don’t forget the crowd favorites during the holidays!  Everyone loves our new Crawfish Cornbread.  This side dish is just another example of creative Creole cooking, and will no doubt spark conversation around the dinner table. For those throughout the north that don’t get into the traditional seafood side of Louisiana cooking, we’ve added three new boneless stuffed chickens to our lineup.  The creamed spinach, broccoli & cheese, and pork sausage & potato-stuffed chickens are seasoned with our own Tony Chachere’s Creole spices and have just the kick your looking for.   Look for them in stores in your area, or pick some up online.

Another exciting and fast growing line that we’re proud of is the Fresh Caught Gulf Shrimp.  We’ve added two new headless shell-on sizes (perfect for boiling, hint hint) and a peeled and de-veined option (great for pasta, nudge nudge).  The new sizes are individually frozen for convenience and come in one-pound bags.  Pick up a few sizes and check out Tony Chachere’s Recipes section for some new ideas!

Phew!  We’re tuckered out from telling you about everything we have to offer this holiday season.  We think we’ll have ourselves a sneak peak bite before the holidays hit.  In the meantime, from the entire Tony Chachere’s team, we hope you’ll think of us this holiday season.  Here’s wishing a very spicy holidays to you and yours!
