Tony Chachere

Chachere was born on June 14, 1905, in Opelousas, Louisiana, to Tilghman George and Nina Celestine, the fifth of seven children.

At times working from his garage, he created his own elixirs, including Mamou Cough Syrup and Bon Soir Bug insect repellent.

Positive public response to the book led him to start Tony Chachere's Creole Foods.

Chachere frequently autographed his books with laissez les bons temps rouler (let the good times roll).

[6] It continues to offer a variety of cookbooks, seasoning blends, dinner mixes, marinades, sauces, batters, and frozen items.
