CARENCRO, La. — On the second day of the inaugural C'est Bon Seasoning Festival in Carencro, the Seasoning Showdown kicked off.
"Today, we're actually out here participating in the showdown, trying to highlight our seasonings...just trying to get it out to the public, show them what we're about," said Blaine Malagarie, co-owner of MaD All Purpose Cajun Seasoning.
