...If I could attribute any one super power to my father it is the ability to smell opportunity, and when it came knocking he took it by the horns.

His company, Houseboat Outlet Inc., began to manufacture several sewage treatment systems for houseboats and camps, generating much acclaim and success in the houseboat industry. His exploits in promoting the product itself would become legendary.

Where most companies focus on sight and sound to promote their product, Houseboat Outlet was going to use smell and taste. An old Cajun woman once said the way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Most companies give away pens, caps, and T-shirts; Dad gave away hot sauce, lots of hot sauce. Thinking that people might start getting a little burned out on hot sauce, he started to give away seasoning. The demand became so great for both the hot sauce and the seasoning that Dad decided to start marketing them as additional products: Boo Boo's Burnya' Butt, and Boo Boo's Cajun Shaker respectively. The Boo Boo's Cajun line of products began to grow and now includes seven different hot sauces, Bar-B-Q sauce, steak sauce, hot wing sauce, Cajun pickles, Cajun jalapeno peppers, fish fry, seafood boil, chili mix, red beans & rice, gumbo, etoufee, jambalaya, and even his own cook book.
