Chris' Specialty Meats has pretty good boudin.


they have one in NOLA

Would it be worth the drive for me to go to Ronnie's or the other BR places?

I get Chris' boudin and cook it in the oven on a pan with a rack for around 40 to 45 minutes at 400 degrees. I like the way it tastes when I do it that way.

I'd do that as opposed to the drive. I need to have a boudin king caked picked up for me from Twin's in Laffy. That is very good.

My personal favorite is the smoked boudin from Bergerons, but Ronnies, Jerry Lee's, and Benoit's all put out a decent product as well. I've never been a fan of Tony's boudin.

IMO

Ronnie's is the clear #1, the regular is very good but the smoked is better

2. Bergeron's
3. Jerry Lee's - they have arguably the best hogs head cheese on the planet though





4. Benoit's

Chris's and Tony's don't bother

It's all a matter of personal preference. There are quite a few places I prefer over Billy's. I also prefer T-Jim's hogshead cheese over Jerry Lee's. Once again, just personal preference. Just thankful that I live I a state where these delicacies are abundant.
