Best Kracklin driving in from Atl

Bergeron's in Port Allen

Hey, I’m driving in for the Bama game and my wife loves kracklin. Where is the best place to stop on he way in from Atlanta

Coming from Atlanta, you're going to want to stop at one of the Ronnie's Boudin locations. There's one in Hammond, LA off of I-12 and one in Baton Rouge on Florida Blvd.

They have great Cracklins and smoked boudin.

Bergeron's in Port Allen will be slightly out of your way (Port Allen is just over the I-10 Bridge from Baton Rouge), but their cracklins are solid too. They have a lot of great stuff in their deli, but their boudin is not nearly as good as Ronnie's. Their chicken cracklin is amazeballs

If you want to try Hogs Head Cheese while you're here (and trust me, you do), it may be worth the detour up to Central to Jerry Lee's).

Agree with Ronnie's for boudin. Regular and smoked, it's the best in the area.

Normally I would agree, but unless you're headed all the way to Lafayette (or at least Breaux Bridge) there's no way I would cross the bridge knowing I had to turn around and cross back over it this weekend.

This. Crossing that bridge is a nightmare. There are times when it is less burdensome to drive from LSU down to the Bergeron's in Gonzales than it is to cross the river to the Bergeron's in Port Allen.

I’m not a huge fan of Ronnie’s boudin. It is kind of flavor less.

have you had the smoked?

Driving privileges of all kracklins have been revoked in every southern state. I'm afraid you'll have to settle for some grounded kracklins. I'm not aware of any quality kracklins in the ATL area. Perhaps someone on the food board still living in the BR area can give you a recommendation in that area.
