I don’t know if I’d call it the best, but Rabideaux’s on Hwy 165 1 mile south of I-10 has very good boudin.

Just had a link of Billeaud’s on a piece of Evangeline maid bread.

Man, whoever mentioned it in an earlier post was right, if you refrigerate it and re-warm the next day it’s even better. Wow.

I had some from Chris's Specialty Foods the other day and it was YUMMY!

This won't be a popular opinion here given the love for Billy's, but, have not been satisfied over the last year or so. It seems they're going to a cheaper choice in their use of meat to make their boudin - or, they are not properly trimming fat off of their meat they use. Believe me, I'm not alone when I say that it has become a greasy product as of late - to the point of it being almost a mush of rice and meat. I, along with others, have purchased from different Billy's locations and noticed the same. Take a look at the bottom of the package they place it in - grease seems to pool up at the bottom. Enjoyed it in the past, but have moved on until they get their quality control in order and alleviate the need for a handful of Tums after eating a link of their product. They have opened other locations, so I guess I may be in the minority with this opinion - but, other loyal customers are starting to take notice. Hoping they're not starting to sacrifice quality for profit.

Which store do you usually buy from? I stop at the Krotz Springs location and the boudin there has actually improved, especially since they opened the new store. The wraps are all hot and crispy now, whereas in the previous blue store, next door, sometimes they were warm, but just weren't crisp like they are now. The sea salt cracklins are awesome.. the crawfish balls, pies, wraps and pistolettes are all good.
Aside from that, I got some at the new Hebert's location on Jefferson Highway in BR and it was as good as the Maurice store. It's not the best in the state, but it's good.
My favorite boudin is Billeaud's in Broussard

I know there's always controversy surrounding Don's, but it's my fave too. I had some Juneau's from Marksville this weekend. They make good stuff for not being in the Acadiana area.

Billy's has been the best/most consistent for me, and they have it smoked. Don's and Best Stop are too inconsistent for me. Both are good when they get it right, but you get that bland/too wet batch every so often.

Cormier's jalapeno boudin in Jennings will change yall's world. It's not far off I-10. Give it a shot.

Lots of good suggestions in here. I have to say I will eat just about any boudin. My favorite I’ve had was from Charlie Ts in Breaux Bridge. First had it in an omelet at Cafe sea Amis. It is made with finely cut/shredded meat instead of ground. Flavor was spot on for me. Damn. Now I need to make a trip to Breaux Bridge to get some.

In Atlanta and got delivery of 5# of Bourques and a dozen egg rolls today The egg rolls were good, but the boudin is phenomenal. Didn’t want to order more because I didn’t know how it would turn out after I thawed it. Will be ordering more.

It’s not around anymore, but does anyone remember Johnson’s Grocery in Eunice? Many years ago (like 30), they had boudin as good as it gets.

quote:it’s operating in downtown Laffy as Johnsons Boucaniere and it’s a shame it hasn’t been mentioned yet. Top 3 boudin for me. Perfect size link for eating while driving.

Lately it seems anywhere that I've tried, the boudin has been a little off. I've talked to a couple of elderly Cajuns in the area around Lafayette where I'm from and was told that boudin isn't as good in the summer months because of the temperature the pork gets to during the processing. They say it's better to make boudin in very cold weather when the pork has less of a chance to spoil. And in the old days when they slaughtered a hog, it was typically done in very cold weather due to lack of refrigeration and air conditioning.
Thought it was an interesting point to mention..

Ronnies smoked boudin.

I would think with refrigeration and Central cooling systems, production would be the same year round.
Especially since it rarely gets very cold in Louisiana.

In my opinion the best is now and has been for the last 50 + years in down town Port Barre the only reason it aint as famous as the others is its off the beaten path. That being said most any of it has to be pretty good cause of all the competition if its west of the Atchafalaya and south of Bunkie it is either damn good or out of business.
