Boudin on the Way back Home from Houston

Billy's Boudin & Cracklins in Scott, LA.


Less than a minute off the interstate.



ETA: Also can she bring me back some cracklins?

Many, many minutes waiting in line

worth it though

I've been skipping the line and going to Best Stop, but they can get pretty crowded too

Billy's in Scott

Don's and Best Stop are also good

I always go to Best Stop. I like the boudin, it's a little spicy.

---

The smoked boudin at the best stop is good. Good Cracklin as well. Just on the north side of 10 at the Scott exit

They're also available frozen, for serving at home.

I tried em.. Let em thaw first and heat em at 300 for 30-35 minutes. So good.

He's got the technique down for sure.

I agree that billys is top of the pile.

I will throw you another option though.

Rabideauxs. It is about a mile south of i10 on 165. Definitely in my top 3. And they sell frozen packs too.

IMO, Don's cracklin's are better than Best Stop. Boudin is a different story.

I've only gone on Sunday evenings on my way back from Houston and once in the morning on a drive back.

The time I went in the morning there was no line. The Sunday afternoon trips were ridiculous.

---

We might have stood in line together. I'm in Billy's most every other Sunday afternoon around 4:30...if the line isn't ridiculous. Friday afternoons there is hardly any lines.

To OP: The Cracklins at Honey B Ham in Lake Charles right off of 210 are really good, but they put quite a bit of sugar on them. Also the Smoked Cracklin's at Famous Foods are good.
