Creole Tomato Festival Thanks Great Time

Back at Jazz Fest 🎷
April 24 | 12:30 PM

We’re taking a festival classic and telling it a different way.

Creole Corn Dogs—made with legendary sausage and dipped in our Trinity Cornbread batter (onion, celery, bell pepper… the foundation of flavor in every New Orleans kitchen).

This is what it looks like when tradition meets the moment.
When ingredients carry history.
When every bite tells the truth.

Catch it live. Taste the story.

Yo Mardi Gras is a wrap 💜💛💚
Hope y’all had a good one.

Black History Month got me reflecting heavy — honoring the legacy and building what lasts.

February 19 = preparation season.
Securing suppliers.
Building relationships.
Pitching next week.
Growing smart.

March 19 is Viola’s birthday 🎉
And the release of our Trinity, Honey Butter, and Sweet Potato cornbread mixes.

Same love. Same roots.
Just building the system now.

This is the 19th Legacy Series 🤎

Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
Dr. King said that. And today, I’m building with that truth.

This year, Viola’s turns 6.
And we’re choosing infrastructure over hustle.

No king cakes in 2026.
No catering focus.

Instead, we’re building:

• shelf-stable products
• partnerships with Louisiana farmers
• pathways to manufacturing in New Orleans
• living-wage food jobs

Because here, the story for people who look like me has often been:
build it here… but scale it somewhere else.

We’re writing a different story.

And it’s anchored in 19.

March 19 — our beginning
June 19 — freedom & ownership
December 19 — legacy

So every month on the 19th, we’ll share what we’re building.

This is the 19th Legacy Series.
And you’re part of it.
