If you can’t taste some liver, then it is probably not real boudin.
What does "real boudin" mean?

I am going with Kartchner's. What do you think?
Never had any from there. My favorite is Juneau's in Marksville, across from the Paragon Casino. I don't get up that way much anymore since my wife's family has pretty much died out from that area.
I've taken to making my own now and it comes out just fine. I've never found any in the N.O. area that I'd buy more than once just to see what it tastes like.

Boudin by Jamison. Check him out on Facebook and if you're near the New Orleans area grab some! He won people's choice a couple years in a row at the boudin fest out in Scott.

Mel's in Eunice.

Johnson's Boucaniere in Lafayette is probably my favorite.

I’ve had boudin from every place mentioned in this thread except Kartchner's, and so far my favorite has been Best Stop.
Next time I’m out west I’ll stop at Kartchner's.

T-Reys in Mandeville
It’s not traditional, but very tasty.

Im going to try T-Reys,
Also, IT would be great if we can get a Map. And update the Locations of all this tasty Boundin.

Johnson's when they were in their old store in Eunice back in the day was the best I ever had.
moe1967, maybe you can help me remember.
Way back in the day, there were two main places you got boudin in Eunice, Johnson's and the Slaughterhouse. Like you said, Johnson's when it was on, was unbeatable, but the Slaughterhouse was very good too. This was way back when you'd heard things like "Oh, it's really spicy today"
My question is, I remember there being some drama where the boudin guy left the Slaughterhouse to go to Eunice Poultry. Is that how Eunice Poultry came to do boudin, or am I misremembering.

In the 90's an LSU crew including several of my friends and a few family members chartered a bus and did a tour called "Boudin for Peace" and it boarded in Lafayette and traveled around Acadiana tasting the local places and gave an award to the best boudin determined by the group.
And I believe I've seen a map online with the local spots on it, somewhere..
The Boudin Trail Map

About 10 years ago Eunice Poultry had excellent boudin. But something happened. I guess the cook left? Last time I had some there it was shite.
I got some at Eunice Poultry it was so bad, I took one bite and threw the rest away.. Absolutely terrible.
Eunice Superette Slaughterhouse was excellent. I haven't tried the new Superette across from St. Paul Cemetery on Laurel.. but they have excellent cuts of meat.. I like them a lot.

To be honest, I'm not sure.
I think when you say "Slaughterhouse" you really mean Eunice Superette. Which was located near Eunice High School back in the day. Now, Eunice Superette has a location on the main drag with Boudin and meats, etc. And the Slaughterhouse (still Eunice Superette) is at the same location where it has always been.
I am not aware of any drama occurring. Although I would not be surprised. At all!.
After Johnson's closed down Eunice Poultry had really, really good boudin. But all of a sudden it went to shite. I'm assuming the cook left or was fired. I dunno.
I can tell you Eunice Superette sells a lot of Boudin. But I've never tried it. For all I know the guy that used to be at Eunice Poultry is now at Eunice Superette. I dunno.
I'm not from Eunice. But I'm not far.
Just to reiterate, none of the current places around can/could compete with Johnson's back in the day. (Depending on who was working) It was really something special.

The original Superette grocery store was located on Maple where Champagne's is now. The Slaughter House was across Maple from Eunice High. Jerome Moore owned both the Superette and the Slaughter House. They both sold boudin. When the original grocery store location was sold, only the Slaughter House made the boudin and it was excellent.
Mr. Jerome died in 2002. The Superette and the Slaughter House were sold to a meat processing company called Coastal Plains.

This is 100% correct. I knew both places were still "joined at the Hip"

Jerome Moore had a "kitchen" they called Jerome Moore's kitchen on the site of the Slaughter House and it was actually a banquet hall with a large kitchen and a brick barbeque pit to roast pigs and anything else to feed large groups. He would host suppers for political meetings and business functions and family get togethers. It was quite an operation.. and his wife Mrs. Moore was the best cook in Eunice. They were great people.

Man, all the boudin I have had North of Ville Platte in Evangeline has been pretty bad. Can't say I have had that one though.
Me and my nephew make a Guillory's in PP run about once a month to grab some fresh ground meat, stuffed chicken, steak (especially T-bone when they have it in stock) and always grab some boudin. I find it as good or at least very close to Kartchner's.
My next run up 165 to Ellick I plan on stopping in Town & Country and see if they've up their game now that Juneau's owns them.
