Many people refer to the seasoning simply as "Tony's" while others call it "Tony Catchers." The correct pronunciation is /ˈsæʃərz/.[1] Today, the official name of the seasoning is Tony Chachere's Original Creole Seasoning.

The company now offers a variety of cookbooks, seasoning blends, dinner mixes, marinades, sauces, batters, and frozen items that are prepared with Chachere's products.

The company is based in Opelousas (in the heart of Cajun Country), the seat of St. Landry Parish.
