That’s hot – Five ways to honor the late Paul McIlhenny, the CEO of TABASCO who died in February. Listed from brows high to low.
• Donate to coastal restoration, McIlhenny’s biggest passion other than spice. Baton Rouge-based Coalition to Restore Coastal Louisiana is a good place to start. crcl.org
• View the elephant folio edition of John James Audubon’s Birds of America and other avian treasures cultivated by McIlhenny ancestry and donated to LSU’s Hill Memorial Library in 1971.
• Eat your way Julie & Julia-style through the more than 100 recipes in Eula Mae’s Cajun Kitchen, written by the McIlhenny’s family chef.
• Grill wearing TABASCO’s bottle apron. It’s hard to find an apron that allows a man to be manly, but this one comes close.
• Oyster. Cracker. Sauce. Chew.
