The Big Easy Foods Story

The Big Easy Company began over a decade ago selling sausage and boudin in stores throughout Southwest Louisiana. Known then as French Market Foods, the company's products quickly grew in popularity, so managing partners Larry Avery and Mark Abraham decided to build a new 15,000 square foot USDA plant on Ryan Street in Lake Charles. They also began expanding their product line to include the famous tur-duc-hen and the first-ever completely boneless stuffed and seasoned chicken.

Enjoying such success in Louisiana led the company to expand to Texas, Mississippi, and Tennessee. Big Easy's product line grew even more when Larry and Mark acquired one of the premier domestic shrimp processors in the Gulf Coast and began putting their “Big Easy” branded shrimp into grocery stores across the country. Today, Big Easy Foods still sells sausage and boudin, but we also offer over 30 other products including the finest wild caught shrimp, boneless chickens, tur-duc-hens, Louisiana entrées, and meat pies (empanadas).

The Big Easy product line is available in stores across the country as well as shipped nationally when ordered from this website.
