re: What's the story on the two "world famous" andouille establishments in La Place?

Jacobs is pretty damn good. I'll go out of my way on trips to/from New Orleans to grab some. It's smoke heavy but has big chunks of pork in it. I would give Bergerons in Lobdell a close second. Never tried Wayne Jacobs.

So why can't we find Jacobs in stores? I'm always relegated to using Savoie's or Richards, which are not bad options though.

Have you tried Veron andouille? It is in a few grocery stores in BR, and a very good option. Matherne's on Bluebonnet also does their own andouille, which is also quite good. Just be sure you get the right one -- they do some skinnier "regular" store-bought looking kind, but this is only two shorter links that are very thick.
