re: Billy's in Scott

You must be a local with your knowledge of Early's, let the tourists stay at Billy's and Best Stop

I like a good, simple link of boudin most of the time. The balls and other stuff is only when I'm on the mood.

Nope. Last time we were in Acadiana, I thought of stopping off at Billy's. Line was way too damn long, but I remembered someone else here mentioning Early's. Went there instead. Did not disappoint at all.

Where is early's?

At first I thought this was a typo and you meant to say Earl's (Lafayette), which has been recommended to me as well.

I used to like Earl's more than Billy's. Also loved their pre-made burgers too for huge grill-outs.

But several years ago, after the old man sold the store to their nephew, seemed the stuff was off and not the same. I was later told that the nephew and his uncle (who still owned the crawfish/daiquiri place next door), got into a squabble. The result was that the nephew could no longer use the original recipie for boudin.

Don't know if that's true, but would explain why the boudin went downhill.

Poches cracklings were not impressive at all when I tried them 7 years ago.

And they aren't any better now

I grew up on Earl's

Good memories
