On the spice can is written: "In 1956 Wilda Marie Fontenot Walker gave birth to the creator of this award winning seasoning blend. Every time she uses it , she receives a loving slap on the back and a kiss on the cheek, thanking her for another great tasting Cajun Dish."

I can tell you--it will make smoke come out of your ears but it sure is good. Wilda Walker is from Ville Platte, La.--a town I have added to my list of stops.
