Co-Founder & Recipe Creator
Raised in Stephensville, Louisiana, Don is the mastermind behind the D.a.T. SaUcE recipe. Inspired by his wife’s grandfather “Pop,” Don spent years perfecting a sauce that honors Louisiana tradition while creating something uniquely his own. His dedication to quality and authentic flavor is what makes D.a.T. SaUcE special.
The original concept came from a sauce made by Don’s wife’s grandpa, Alcide Richard, better known as “Pop” to the family. Pop always kept his famous “Pop Sauce” stocked in his garage, and it became a beloved family tradition.
Co-Founder & Business Partner
Don’s first cousin and fellow Stephensville native, Scott joined forces with Don to bring D.a.T. SaUcE to the world. Together, they’ve built a family business that stays true to their Louisiana roots. With their families on board, D.a.T. SaUcE has grown beyond what anyone would’ve thought possible.
Once the supply of “Pop Sauce” started to slowly disappear, Don knew he had to do something about it. He tried for years to remember the ingredients and recreate the sauce, but he could never get it quite right. He eventually decided to create his own unique version.
Don spent countless hours in his backyard with a crawfish pot, trying different ingredient combinations and processes until he got it just where he wanted it. His dedication to perfecting the recipe paid off.
After many attempts, Don and everyone in his family and circle of friends agreed that he had finally nailed it. Around Christmas time, Don ordered bottles, had one of his sons make a label, made a big batch of sauce, and had his wife and three sons help him bottle it all up. The name comes from Don’s full name: Don Abner Tabor.
