I'm sure this has been asked before, but who makes the best boudin in Louisiana?

Billy's is great. I just had Paul's from Ville Platte. Juneau's in Marksville is astonishingly good. They're all good. What am I missing. Put me on the good one's please. I'm in search of the best and I travel the state so I can go get it.

1. Juneau’s - marksville
2. Mr Ts- Elton
3. Best stop
4. Johnsons boucaniere
5. Nunus

Those five can be placed in any order and I will be ok with it. Billy’s does not belong on the list anymore. Their stuff has too much grissle.

Honorable mention
- kartchners
- dons

We made a trip down in May and I wanted to compare Best Stop, Billy's and Kartchners to decide which we would take home.

We wound up bringing Billy's home

Best Stop smoked boudin is my go to. For regular boudin, I like Kartchners and Bourques.

Everyone has different taste buds and prefers varying amounts of rice, meat, liver, green onions, and seasoning. My wife will only eat Rays in Opelousas which I find bland and dry.

The Best is subject to what boudin you like the most

The best boudin is always made by the place closest to your house.

Depends on your tastes.

If I want heavy heavy liver, T-boys.

If I want a lot of organ meat, those greeks and cajuns who intermarried right there in henderson make a decent product.

Day to day: kartchners or riverside in plaquemine.

Smoked? Bergerons in port allen.

I’ve been a fan of Juneau’s boudin in Maaahs’ville, but T-Jim’s in Cottonport will always hold a special place for this CoonAss…

I can remember there was this joint Ray’s & Billy’s place in Opelousas, I think on 182, that sold both recipes. Poor Ray, I rarely ordered his boudin. Always Billy’s. If I got one link of each, I always needed to eat the Ray’s first, because the other way around would lead to severe disappointment during the second link.

Avoid North Evangeline and you'll be fine.
