I drove today from Prairieville to Houston and decided to stop along the way for some Cajun delicacies. I skipped the normal stops (Kartchners, Billys, Best Stop) and instead decided to try Menard's, Nonc Kev's, and Famous Foods. The boudin at Menard's was very good, as were the chicken cracklins at Nonc Kev's (their boudin was not good). My original plan was to stop at Famous Foods in Lake Charles to try their "wet" cracklins, but while at Nonc Kev's I noticed they had a sign that said "TRY OUR NEW SAUCED CRACKLINS" and also there was a container of free samples, so I helped myself to one. It was incredible, a complete game-changer. I continued on my merry way and stopped at Famous Foods, only to discover that they were closed for some unknown reason, so I had no way to compare their version to Nonc Kev's... that said, I don't see how theirs could possibly be better. Tomorrow on my way home I'm stopping by Nonc Kev's to pick up another sackful. Highly recommend!

If you are saying buffalo cracklins, I'm in. Keep the AED nearby though.

Famous Foods wet cracklings are awesome. The sauce tasted like Louisiana hot sauce mixed with a. Few other things, but I could be wrong.

Danny and Bonnie's in Gretna uses this technique. It seems like a vinegar/crab boil mixture is sprayed on the cracklin after removing from fryer and then they hit it with dry seasoning.
