Boudin cookoff today in Lafayette.

It was tough but we sampled the best of the best and results are in.

Well this is my top 4, I hope to have the official results tomorrow.

#1 NuNus by a very slight margin- the crisp casing made the difference IMO ..Damn good Boudin.

#2 Best Stop, some argument could be made for # 1

#3 Dons Specialty meats an easy vote for- # 3

#4 Kellys - Opelousas -quite a dropoff after # 3 but kellys was clearly # 4

We sampled 14 of the 20 boudins available then re sampled the top 3.

Its a tough job but someone has to do it.

Nice, I'm going to have to check out NuNu's. Best Stop and Don's are always solid. Surprised to see Kelly's up there, it's right with Ray's as the worst in Opelousas for me. Wish I could've made it down there for the boudin cook-off.

I'm a little surprised to not see Poche's of breaux bridge on the list. I've been to many of the places you listed and for money Poche's beats them all. With best stop coming in close behind.

The boudin at Best Stop has always been phenomenal...but the last time I got cracklins, they were horribly stale.

Best Stop and Dons have always been my staple. However I lean towards Dons more and more due to fresh cracklins always available and the reg boudin is consistent. I do drive to Best Stop to get the smoked boudin though which I always found consistent.
