a complete listing of the products that the

" We want to bring the whole experience to

only our Cajun heritage foods, but the German,
Italian, Jewish, African, Caribbean and other
cultures that make up the food experiences we
enjoy, " Krantz said.
The firm does some wild game processing
as well but limits its customer base and insists
that only clean, boned out meats are brought
in for further processing in zip lock or vacuum
sealed bags.
He said that while his meat business has
faced adversities such as Hurricane Katrina
and Hurricane Ida, COVID-19 and other tough
times, he loves the idea of running a small
meat business that allows him to engage with

customers. Krantz likes the culture of getting
to know the people he sells to, many from
other countries. Learning about his customers'
buying preferences has helped him further
develop the products he makes.
Although Louisiana Craft Butchers operates
with only five employees, including Krantz,
his vision for the future is to build a federally
inspected plant so they can expand their
customer base and do some co-packing for
other food companies. Krantz advised that he
has already been approved for a federal grant
for this coming project. He also has experience
in the refrigeration business, but notes that
finding a good location and proper site will
be critical.
As for Tailgate Tigers, the catering
division of the company, they focus on
preparing meats and foods for pickup at a
small retail area that is equipped with plenty
of refrigerated and frozen storage capacity.
Other orders can be placed on the company
website for direct shipment.
