Episode • Oct 10, 2022 • 1h 18m

In 1868, in the remote backwater reaches of south Louisiana's Avery Island, Edmund Mcllhenny invented Tabasco Sauce.   While no one is sure how or why he came up with his proprietary elixir, the iconic company is now in its 6th generation of family ownership. Taking us down dark Louisiana bayous, historian Shane Bernard colorfully describes the Mcllehennys as businessmen, hunters and conservationists, telling amazing stories about the remote region; nutria rats, bears, plume hunting, duck hunting, bird sanctuaries, bird banding and much more. You'd have never thought so much goodness could fit into a tiny condiment bottle!
