Friend,

There is nothing that is not a can't miss item. As you well know, Kartchner's hit #1 on TulaneLSU's Top 10 boudin stands. Honestly, for the quality of the meats, it was not even close. Kartchner's was a clear #1, significantly above #2.

I recommend the fried boudin, regular boudin, and smoked boudin. No need to get fancy with the stuffed boudins, especially the crawfish stuffed boudin. It sounded great, but it was not nearly as good as the regular stuff. I also did not think the cracklin' was worth getting, but honestly, I do not think cracklin' anywhere is very good.

Bring an ice chest and load up on the prepared meats as well. They have delicious stuffed chickens, but one of my favorite items is their stuffed pork loins. I had one tonight, and it was fabulous, superb, just show-stopping. When I first saw the price of 8.99/lb for the stuffed loin, I scoffed. "I can get a regular pork tenderloin at Sam's for $1.50 per pound. What makes this one so special to justify increasing the price by 600%? Well, the spinach cream cheese stuffing and spices and outer coat of bacon made it just a great dish, better than any pork tenderloin I have ever had. It took just 30 minutes to bake in an oven and cleanup involved only my plate and silverware thanks to the foil. Get one, or better yet, get ten! Mother made a sneak visit there earlier this week and purchased over $500 in meats that are now being chilled in our freezers.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Kartchner’s definitely has a better freezer supply of different meats than Billy’s across the street in Krotz Springs. I tried some hog heads cheese and was very good. I also purchased a dozen pre made meatballs to add into the next spaghetti sauce I make. That pork loin with spinach stuffing does look interesting. Thanks for the tip.

Padna,

I hope this message finds you well. In a recent discussion with Wife I told her how I'd read praises of the stuffed tenderloin from TulaneLSU of Tigerdroppings.com. Being as we reside at Exit 97 I told her we should have some samplings of the newest comer to the Great Boudin Mecca. Much to my delight she informed me that while running some errands yesterday she'd stopped by and gathered some items, bacon wrapped asparagus, some stuffed potatoes, and, thankfully, the spinach stuffed pork loin wrapped in bacon in which I'd read your praises. Sadly though, no boudin was purchased, I've discussed with her how this is unforgivable and she's promised to do better next time.

I arrived home yesterday evening and was hit with a fabulous smell as soon as I opened the garage door, I could smell the spinach wrapped in pork wrapped in pork awaiting in the oven. I asked Wife how long everything had been in the oven and was informed "about 45 minutes". I panicked a bit, loudly proclaiming "That's longer than suggested by TulaneLSU!". Fortunately things were not as overdone as I'd feared and we were able to enjoy a delicious meal and I reminded her that a gratuitous "thank you" is owed to you.
