Meet Rochelle! She is a sweet dog and our pet of the week.

Rochelle is a 13-year-old rat terrier weighing about 22 pounds. She may be a senior girl, but Rochelle still has so much love to give.

In 1986, famed New Orleans chef Paul Prudhomme trademarked the term and popularized the dish. Then Alpine Steakhouse, a family-owned business in Sarasota, boarded the turducken train and began selling its now signature dish here in 1996.
