Walker & Sons
TW's sons, Jack and Joe, were very young back then, and they loved rolling around and causing general bouts of mayhem, as kids of that age often do. So the Walkers put their boys to work rolling an antique glass pickle jar around the floor of the family deli for the express purpose of mixing their homegrown Cajun seasoning—the perfect combination of work and play, if ever there was one.
Everybody loved the Walkers' Cajun seasoning so much, that pretty soon it needed a name. To the folks who came into the deli asking to take home the Cajun seasoning, TW would often proclaim,"When you use this seasoning, the food tastes so good, you'll receive a loving slap on the back and a kiss on the cheek for creating such a great tasting Cajun dish." And that's how the Walker & Son's Cajun brand Slap Ya Mama was born in the proud Cajun town of Ville Platte, Louisiana.
