$8-$15

Buy HERE

TDon’s is a father and son operation created by Louisiana natives Don Guillory, and son, Daren Guillory. We are passionate about southern tradition, culture, and high-quality food. It is our firm belief that the amount of salt used in any cooking endeavor should be placed into the hands of the chef, and used at their own discretion. We believe salt is a wonderful, natural enhancement to virtually any recipe, but it should not be the number one ingredient in your seasonings. 

A favorite of Chef Ara Malekian of Harlem Street BBQ.

Our original, old fashioned, handmade, southern, cajun seasonings is great on just about anything! Apply generously. The more you apply the spicier your dish will be.
