Tipitina’s began as a neighborhood juke joint, established in 1977, by a group of young music fans (The Fabulous Fo’teen) to provide a place for Professor Longhair to perform in his final years. The venue, named for one of Longhair’s most enigmatic recordings, “Tipitina,” has survived in an ever-changing musical climate despite changing ownership and briefly closing in 1984. Many of the Crescent City’s most beloved artists developed and continue to grace the stage at Tipitina’s including Dr. John, the Neville Brothers, the Meters, Cowboy Mouth, the Radiators, Galactic, Better Than Ezra, and Troy “Trombone Shorty” Andrews. After more than 15 months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the music venue reopened in mid-March.

Crystal Hot Sauce is manufactured by Baumer Foods, Inc., a third-generation, family-owned-and-operated business in Reserve, Louisiana. Founded in 1923, the company makes and bottles more than 4.5 million gallons of Crystal a year which you’ll find on tables in more than 30 countries.
