Of course you know Tabasco®. But did you know they are celebrating their 150th birthday? Now that’s a reason to party!
Not only can Tabasco be found in just about every kitchen throughout America, it is also one of our country’s oldest and largest family-owned-and-operated businesses. Every bottle of this world-renowned special sauce is, and always has been, processed on their family-owned Avery Island. And at 9am on just about any given morning, this is where you will find Tony checking on the 96 barrels of the mash used to make his “Cajun ketchup” which he says, “Tastes like candy.”
Tony gives us even more reason to love Tabasco. He shares the history of the McIlhenny family, how this liquid pepper became an American culinary staple and what the next 150 years just might look like for this beloved bottle of spicy tastiness.
