Shaq.
Let's meet the Gator and check out his famous swamp sauce.
How does one get the name Gator?
I grew up in the area.
I've been there my whole life, and just from.
Hanging out in the canals and ponds and swimming pools, you know, just growing up.
It gave me that nickname and it just stuck with me.
We had the best gator around.
You know, we'd sell a lot of gators.
The best gator tail there is.
Is that right?
We have a swamp sauce that basically goes with it.
But our swamp sauce people love.
They want to buy it all the time.
They drink it.
Drink it.
Yeah.
Don't actually drink it.
It's that good.
What the heck is in it?
It's like a well, I can't tell you that.
Oh, you can't.
Give me the secret.
All right.
It was created, actually, when we first opened.
It was created then, and it's been with us ever since.
All right.
These are the gator bites.
Yes they are.
Okay.
Oh, man.
I don't know.
It might be a little hot.
Whoa!
Whoa!
That's the day light.
That's spicy.
Well, those are good.
They love it that way, I'm telling you.
Like I said, they drink it.
You started this place.
When?
About 15 years ago.
We've been at this location just over ten years.
The people here, it's just a small hometown feeling here.
You know, people tell me all the time how much they love this place and, you know, keep it going.
Whatever you got to do, keep it going.
We love it.
You know, they bring their families in from when they come from out of town.
They bring them here to show them what it's like in this area and the hometown.
And it's just been.
It's got to feel good.
Yeah.
We do what we can for them.
They do what they can for us.
It just works out.
We try and keep it a family place.
Yeah, it feels like it.
Yeah.
Chicken wings are actually the number one seller we have.
So really?
Yeah.
We have different sauces, chicken wings and burgers, but we have frog legs, which is kind of rare.
We people come from like, hours, hour, an hour and a half drive just to get our frog legs.
Gator tail.
Yeah.
Okay.
Big a deal.
These are the frog legs.
I don't think a frog leg.
Yeah.
I'm hooked.
