Blazers Specialty Foods introduces fourth generation into business at recent food show.

Participating in the Metropolitan Cooking and Entertainment Show in Atlanta, Ga recently, Nate Tackett traveled with his parents and Grandmother launching his first appearance with family owned business. Nate enjoyed the excitement of a chance meeting with one of the show celebrities.

Paula Deen and sons Jamie and Bobby were featured guests of the show. Blazers Specialty Foods was one of many specialty food companies on hand to sample products and introduce their Blazers Shrimp Dips and Pimento Cheeses to new customers and markets.

Company roots go back to Blazers Restaurant in Greenwood, SC owned by Norma and Jimmy Britt. From the restaurant, Blazers Specialty Foods was formed and bought by Debbie Tackett, the Britt’s daughter. Over the years, both of Tackett’s children Christopher and Anna Britt have assisted with growth and development. Christopher is in charge of product development and Anna Britt and husband Tim Bentley help with marketing.

Blazers Specialty Foods is currently launching new packaging with an easier to open container and a bold new label. The overall design reflects the quality of the products and will help it stand out in the retail environment. The new label will incorporate a classic red and black color scheme. The new easier to open containers are in response to customer’s request.

“I am thrilled with the results and will be working hard to introduce our new look to our loyal customers. I am confident that the new design and easy to open containers will increase customer satisfaction” said Tackett. “The quality of our dips will not change.”
