1- T-Boy's
2- Johnson's Boucaniere
3- Billeaud's

Had Nunu's last week. They grind the meat up too much and it makes the consistency mealy.

I wish Ville Platte would get on the bandwagon and make it to Boudin Cookoff. T-Boy's has put themselves out there, improved their product and produces a superior product than they did before their involvement in the Cookoff.

Where is VP is the best place, store to grab a COLD single beer, with a decent variety to choose from. I have had very limited success and usuall end up at this little chevron/meat mkt just east of the hospital, near where the old walmart building is....

weird, I had some this week and thought that the bigger chunks of meat were a nice change from the boudin I am familiar with

That's B&S, their product isn't the quality it used to be.

I stop at a little convenience store on Main and Young Street. It's owned by an Indian dude and I believe he sells Fontenot's boudin. It's damn good.

The best ponce to me, is Kermit Lejeune's in Eunice, on the Old Crowley Road, just off Hwy 13. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth the stop.

Any day in the boudin business can be a bulls eye or just slightly off day.. I could've hit Nunu's on a day when the butcher went to answer the phone and left the meat grinder running.

TRUTH!
I think that is why, in part, so much debate about some of the top tier places.
For instance Don's and best stop (OK they are just examples and I am labeling them top tier).. I have had some of the best boudin at both places, BEST EVER and I have tried dozens of places in So. LA.
Then others try em and say it was the worst they have ever had or I can go back and they don't equal the previous visit.

It's an art I guess.

And pork is a fickle product, you can get bad pork and it'll taste strong and foul.

To me, the good places that make the money can afford to use good quality pork and the places that can't have to use lesser quality or scrap meat and you end up with gristle in the link.. which makes me
