Rod's is my favorite but Bourque's and Rabideaux's are also very good

Veron’s Supermarket in Lutcher. It’s not the stuff in the stores, this is good shite. I personally love Rabideaux’s, but it’s incredibly smoky when compared to others.

Usually rabideauxs but recently I have tried and liked Cajun family tradition a couple of times and liked it. Some of the Richard family members doing their own thing.

I agree. We have a family of 6, so we put a lot of meat in our red beans. We typically do 1 pack (1.5lbs) of Rabideaux’s venison and pork sausage, 1 pack (1 lb) of Veron’s mild pork sausage or Richard’s mild pork, and 1 lb of Chisesi ham cubes.

Even with gumbos, I have to just do 1 pack of Rabideaux’s, because I think the smoke overpowers the dish if there’s too much in it.

It's good, but many will find it too heavily smoked. It tends to be a little dry too, compared to Bourque's / Rabideaux's.

I don’t cook sausage in my red beans, just pickled pork but I always serve sausage as a side. My favorite is Double D hot but I also like Conecuh.

A little off topic but I put smoked hocks in my red beans yesterday and DAMN. Never done this before but I will from now on. Great flavor
