Anyone tried their meats?
Want to make a chicken and sausage gumbo and looking for some good andouille around New Orleans.

Their Duck Rillette is incredible. Their pork terrine is good too. Their hoghead cheese is ok. Better HH Cheese is found around baton rouge at Bergeron's.

Is theirs any good? Had some of their stuff over the years and just thought it was ok.

Not sure if I feel like driving 1.5 hours (there and back) to laplace but I am thinking about it.

Its gumbo. They sell decent enough andouille for that purpose at your local grocer.

If you're in the neighborhood, though, Cochon is not really that different in price. I like its texture and smokiness, when I've used it in gumbo. The grocer bought ones seem hit or miss, but I guess I've never had one that's not passable for gumbo.

Yeah I was more responding to people suggesting you have to drive to LaPlace for acceptable andouille for a gumbo. I find all andouille, Butcher's, grocery store (Rouses' is pretty good), acceptable for gumbo. The main point of emphasis with gumbo is the end result flavor, it really isnt something that highlights individual components. Its a melting pot so to speak.

Surely someone in the city retails Don's, Jacob's or Bailey's.

The Butcher andouille gave my gumbo an odd flavor. Will not use it again.

I don't like it either

Cochon butchers andouille is surprisingly bland. Dont do it

A good andouille compliments the gumbo in my opinion. My gumbo always tastes better with a good andouille.

Thanks for the opinions on butcher's. May end up using Rouse's or a brand they carry. Or I may make the drive. Harder to find good andouille in New Orleans.

No problem. Butcher is one of my favorite lunch spots in NOLA.... And they have some really good stuff behind the counter, just that their andouille isnt one of them.
If you would have posted this earlier I woulda stopped for ya, been to Houma and back from BR. Needed an excuse to come to NoLA for lunch today, just couldnt find one!

I would agree with this for all ingredients except the andouille. Sorry, but Jacobs, Bailey's, and the other Laplace andouilles have a heavy smoke flavor that enhances the gumbo that the store bought versions don't have. The stuff in the grocery doesn't taste any different than the pork sausage next to it.

I want to be serious here because I live in the hinterlands of Andouille. I get excited when I see a pack of the stuff at Walmart.
The wife refuses to share in my excitement (sigh).
Of course you know I have never posted anything about making sausage gumbo here. I guess I could rename it "hinterland gumbo" and get away with photos of Andouille free sausage gumbo.
For those who don't want to drive 45 minutes each way, try needing to drive 4 hours each way.
