Commercially produced available in a supermarket, Verons.

Otherwise drive to LaPlace

When I went into Rouses the best I saw was Vernon's, which I got 2 packs.

Wayne Jacob Smokehouse on w. 5th in Laplace is what you are looking for. Much better than the ones on Airline highway by a large margin.

If I buy a bunch how long do you think it will keep in the freezer?

Or is that a bad idea

I saw some Bailey's Andouille for sale at Stein's Deli, but I don't know if they still have it.

And at one time, you could buy Wayne Jacob's Andouille at Parran's on Veterans. At the time, the same person owned both places. This is no longer the case.

I've seen people post that, so last trip to Laplace for andouille I went there instead of Jacob's. I found it much drier, possibly due to too much time in the smoker, and not nearly as spicy and garlicy. So, I'll stick to Jacob's, easier to drive to and preferable, to me anyway. But I'm sure Wayne has his followers and there is plenty of room in Laplace for both of them.

Yea, my dad brought me some from Wayne Jacobs not too long ago. First time I have had it. It was great andouille. But I wouldn't say it was much better than Jacobs. Certainly not by a large margin...

Jacobs remains my favorite between the two.

I do think that it is a bit leaner than the ones on Airline and I prefer this when I am making a gumbo. Less fat to skim.

I don't agree that it is not spicy or garlicy enough. I find it perfect to eat as is or for making gumbo because it really lends a nice smoke flavor to the pot.

I have tried them all, even the Don's store in Reserve (I don't get the hype with this one) and WJ is always better to me.

I have heard people complain about the casing on WJ andouille, but I don't understand this since the first thing I do before slicing the andouille is peel the casing off. Do people actually leave the casing on the andouille when adding it to a dish?

I tried this one a few years ago and was not impressed. It had a faint gulf lighter fluid taste to it, which I totally don't understand since it's a Donald Link operation.

Maybe I got a bad batch.

Amazing that nobody else has figured this out. Live in Arky, still hit up Laplace every time I go home to visit family.

So let me get this straight

Wayne Jacobs is different then Jacobs? And they are both in Laplace?

It's amazing that you think nobody else has figured out that LaPlace has killer andouille sausage.

If you're not peeling off the casing you have some chewy andouille there.
