TABASCO still in operation

Reg said:

McIlhenny Company is operating normally and the production
of TABASCO® brand products are unaffected by the recent
hurricane. Our New Orleans office employees are all
accounted for and have been relocated to our Corporate
Office on Avery Island, Louisiana. That number is 337-365-8173.

Thank goodness for that. I was that close ...> <... to going out and
buying a 55gal drum of TABASCO®. Whew! ....now that would have been a
*REAL* disaster. 😉

I was sure these guys would have gotten nailed because of their
location. Not only are they still there, they say they're in full
operation. Maybe we need to move The City of New Orleans to Avery
Island...

I think there is no doubt everyone agrees they should fill it in
before they rebuild!

Saw a show on that facility one time. All the buildings are *very* solid
concrete.

Fill it in with what? Do you have any idea how many cubic miles of fill
you're talking about.

Anything that gets built to replace it is just going to be a plastic Disney
World version of the original.

Brick. I've been there. See
<http://www.chowhound.com/writing/sietsema/cajun5.jpg> . They are fairly
substantial but Avery Island is the top of a salt dome in a swamp. It's
about 1' above the surrounding water.

Darn. Here I thought my 6 Tabasco plants were going to make me a
fortune.

Call me shallow, but it's one of the first things I checked
after the wind died down 🙂

Not shallow at all. How many jobs were saved because this business
survived?

And the last thing we need is roving bands of
displaced Rhode Islanders looting gourmet markets
for goat cheese, organic beef, and artisan breads.

As a left coaster, I couldn't survive that. It's bad enough my
supply of Tabasco was recently threatened. I'm working through
my feelings as it is.

Humph! Rhode Islanders would not be looting gourmet markets. We'd be
looking for where Almacs used to be....
