Crawdad’s Classics, the official flavor of the Nashville Predators, is a faith based company that is committed to delivering the highest quality in award winning gourmet flavorings along with an unsurpassed client friendly experience.  Crawdad’s Classics gets its name from the founder, Cordell “Crawdad” Bixler. As a boy, he loved to spend his days catching crawdads in the ditches and creeks of the Missouri Bootheel. Little did he know as a child this nickname would stick throughout his life. Crawdad’s love of Cajun cooking and excellence in spicy foods led him to create Crawdad’s Classics Gourmet Hot Sauce in 1995.   Today, the legacy still lives through Crawdad’s daughter and son-in-law, Tim and Tamie Lung.  Since their acquisition of the company, several new product lines have been added and many consumers have discovered the unique flavor that has their taste buds asking for more. “That’s why we have shipped our products throughout the country and have many loyal customers.”  For more information, please visit www.crawdadsclassics.com.
