Dons and Best Stop has good cracklins and boudin. Cankton/Scott exit west of Laffy on I-10. Sonniers in Lake Chuck also has good sausage/boudin.Check these places for hog head cheese or maybe Poches in Breaux Br. Not sure on your other items. Can you make the red beans and jambalaya?

thanks good suggestions...I will do no cooking...200 people and too many meetings that day to cook...Jambalaya shop will have to do for the Jambalaya and red beans.

Cracklins, in Lake Charles, check out Hackett's, Leonards or Famous Foods.
Boudin, check out Hackett's and Market Basket on Nelson Road.

The smoked boudin in Bergeron's in Port Allen is very good. I believe they have cracklin', also.
I don't care for their crawfish pies, but the meat pies are good and they are a taste of another part of Louisiana.

I could put you in touch with some places if you wanted to buy it local. Exactly what is th event and venue? Are you serving all of this or how is it going to be served and how would you need the food prepared and delivered to you?

This is a South Central Shrine Association convention...meetings, a little drinking, motor corps autocrosses, a little more drinking, clown competition, band competition and a little more drinking all followed up with a large shriner's parade on saturday. We will be hosting in 2013 in Baton Rouge so we get to serve the thursday evening meal. I am looking to stop anywhere along the Baton Rouge to Lake Chuck route and pick things up. We will have use of the Habibi Shrine center's kitchen and ball room but I just want to heat things up...Many shriner's from oklahoma, Arkansas etc so we will try and give them a Taste of Louisiana.

I know you have made final selections, but I just saw the post. You would have a hard time finding better cracklins and hoghead cheese than they sell at B & O's in Sulphur. As for the Jambalaya, my son could do that! Might rethink your selections!
