About La Petite Boucaniere
Our Story
Ron Green is a U.S. Navy combat veteran and former national security professional with a profound passion for the southern foodways, especially as it relates to the Louisiana culinary traditions and craft BBQ.
A Louisiana native, Ron's upbringing on a small farm north of Natchitoches cultivated a profound affection for subsistence agriculture, animal husbandry, butchery, food preservation, and, foremost, the culinary arts. This laid the foundation for his pop-up, “La Petite Boucanière” (boo-kahn-yair), Cajun French for “the little smokehouse”.
Actively engaged in both the veteran and culinary communities, Ron is working closely with the New Orleans Culinary and Hospitality Institute (NOCHI) and the Tulane University Center for Brain Health (TUCBH) towards the establishment of a culinary therapy program for veterans and their family members.
Above all, Ron cherishes nothing more than engaging in culinary pursuits alongside his daughter and business partner, Ellie Grace.
