The couple founded Kajun Kettle in 1981. Today it produces more than 160 sauces, soups, entrees, salad dressings and side dishes for restaurants and packaged food brands.

This is Crawfish Monica®’s 30th year at Jazz Fest. Come and help us celebrate our birthday at home and on the road! 
 
Kajun Kettle Foods will be celebrating  this momentous milestone with two encore festival appearances nationally as well as online giveaways. Enter to win your free goodies online, from a Crawfish Monica® dinner for 30, to our hats and special commemorative t-shirts! To enter, you can logon at: www.crawfishmonica.com. We will announce when the contest is open! Keep watching for it!
 
Over the years, we have  sold about one million bowls from our booth, and given away well over $2 million in charitable food donations. Some of the recipients have included NOAAHH, Each One Save One, WYES, STAIR, and countless others. 
 
Additionally, after Katrina, we set up a ‘food station’ in Kajun Kettle’s factory, where we prepared hundreds of thousands of free meals. They were then delivered throughout the Greater New Orleans Area with the help of scores of Chef Volunteers from around the country. 

So, when you buy a bowl of Crawfish Monica®, you not only get a delicious dish, you also help support our city’s recovery. 

Crawfish Monica® will also be at festivals in Brooklyn and Chicago this year! After 30 years of fun, feeding and frivolity in the Big Easy, Crawfish Monica® is celebrating by going on the road. 
 
There will be encore appearances at two more Fests: Googa Mooga Brooklyn, May 17th-19th after Jazz Fest and at Googa Mooga Chicago in August 23rd-25th. Check it out at www.googamooga.com. Tell your friends in Brooklyn and Chicago to come and try the dish called “One of the Festival’s Culinary Masterpieces”, “The Grande Dame of Jazz Fest foods, “A little bit of heaven on earth” “(among) the Best of Louisiana’s Culinary heritage” and our favorite commentary, “ It was so good. Like, I’ll never forget it good”. 
 
Join us at our three locations this year and help us celebrate our 30th Birthday!!!
