Anybody know where to find boudin rouge

Bergeron's

Thanks y'all. I might just have to make the trip South, then. If it's as good as my paw paw used to make it'll be worth the trip.

Thanks! Yeah, looks like I'm gonna have to make the trip South. Gonna just go down to NO as well and do a getaway weekend with my girl.

Got a couple pounds waiting for me at Bourgeois.

The only time I've had blood boudin was from Bourgeois. I would rate it below average compared to a good non-blood boudin. Bourgeois' regular boudin is below average as well. One of the Bourgeois brothers opened his own store not far from the original. They make a very good smoked boudin.The best boudin in the state is further west, around Lafayette and Lake Charles. I would redirect your search in that direction, otherwise I suspect you'll be disappointed, especially if you are having to go out of your way to get it.

Try searching in BoudinLink website. Good luck.

I stop by Hebert's Slaughterhouse in Abbeville once a month to buy choice cut meats, bone marrow, and blood boudin which definitely has a unique flavor. I could eat my weight in a quality smoked boudin daily. After 2 links of boudin rouge I'm done for 4-5 weeks until i crave it again. It has a distinct aftertaste and is very rich. Most either like it, or can't stand it ... I'm the only one in my family who will eat it we frequently dine of venison and pork from wild hogs

I travel from Youngsville to Shreveport every 2-3 weeks and can bring you some frozen boudin rouge if interested. Contact me and I'll make it happen for you. FYI - it's my understanding only slaughterhouses can sell blood boudin due to Bd of Health issues with having fresh blood

Would I drive 5 hrs for it ? Nope

would I drive the same distance for Billy's smoked boudin and/or pepper jack stuffed fried boudin balls ? Probably so

T Jims in Cottonport had it. Not north of Alexandria but not that for south for you.

Had Billy's smoked boudin and cracklings today.

I'd give the boudin a 4 out of 10, cracklins, 6 out of 10.

I think i'll stick with Best Stop for cracklins and boudin in that area. Love me some Chops and Nu-Nu's boudin.

So how was it? Hopefully you picked up some jerky and turkey head cheese while you were there. That's what they are known for.

If you're driving from nola to Texas, I-10 has plenty of good boudin options. On your way back from Nola, plan it to where you're hungry when you'll be hitting Lafayette. Get off at the Scott exit. Go to Billy's and get a couple boudin balls. Go to Best Stop and try some of their boudin and cracklins. Don's is also at that exit. All three are a couple minutes off I-10. None have blood boudin, but you will not be disappointed. I looked on boudin link, and it looks like there is a place in Breaux Bridge that has blood boudin, and has good reviews, Babineaux's. Breaux Bridge is also on I-10. I trust boudin link's reviews much more than I trust yelp.
