I am truly honored to be selected as a featured presenter at the 2026 Texas Chefs Association State Conference!
August 7–9, 2026 Omni Las Colinas | Irving, Texas
I'll be presenting:
"Rolling Roux: Building a Cajun Food Brand for Retail"
This session will take attendees behind the scenes of our journey—how we transformed an authentic Louisiana Cajun culinary vision into a growing retail brand. I'll be sharing real-world insights on branding, product development, certification, marketing, and the challenges of scaling a food business while staying true to our Louisiana roots.
As the first company outside of Louisiana to earn both Louisiana Certified and Cajun Certified recognition, this opportunity means so much to me. I'm grateful to the Texas Chefs Association for allowing me to share our story and hopefully inspire fellow chefs and food entrepreneurs to pursue their vision with passion and purpose.
If you're attending the conference, I'd love for you to join my session, connect, and say hello. Let's learn, network, and continue building the future of our culinary industry together!
Thank you to everyone who has supported Chef Dnoir Cajun Cuisine throughout this incredible journey. This is just the beginning.
