re: Kartchner's can't miss items

Stopped at Kartchner's in Scott for the first time over the holidays, here were my thoughts on the items I purchased.

1. Boudin - excellent! This boudin is different from all of the others. It's thicker, meatier, seasoned differently. I can totally see how some people prefer this over the others. It can totally hang with the rest of the boudin options in scott.

2. Jalapeno Cream Cheese boudin ball - Very good. I'd put it as high quality as Billy's PJ Balls. It's just a different flavor/texture. I can see being in the mood for a Billy's PJ ball, or in the mood for a Kartchner's JCC boudin ball. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. There's room for both imo.

3. Duck and Andouille gumbo - Awesome. Restaurant quality. If the rest of my family didn't find it too spicy, I'd never cook homemade Duck and Andouille gumbo again.

4. Bacon Wrapped Spinach cream cheese pork tenderloin - Ok. The tenderloin was a good cut of pork. The bacon used was good bacon. The cream cheese and spinach filling was perfect. Just too much damn cajun seasoning on the outside. It's all I could taste. If they could make one that isn't slathered in their seasoning blend, it would be perfect.

Final Verdict: Kartchner's fits in perfectly on exit 97. They offer similar, but different products from the others. I feel like they enhance the area, instead of add competition to the existing stores.
