Fab and her husband Frederick “Ricker” Schmitt were the local entrepreneurs who started Creole Country, the Mid-City sausage company still run by their son, Vaughn and business partner, Deanie Bowen.
Creole Country makes the Cajun charcuterie, from alligator and andouille sausage to tasso and hogshead cheese, and has, for more than 30 years, supplied local eateries, from the finest restaurants to corner po-boy joints.
