re: Is there such a thing as bad boudin?

Had some from the Bergeron's on Jefferson Highway in Harahan a month ago that was wayyyy too spicy. I like spicy, but this was out the box. Had some Saturday that was fantastic. Also got a couple of Pepper Jack Balls that were great, and a Venison Burrito that was very good.

I was at a tailgate party where they deep fried those venison burritos that were incredible

But have you ever had a link that was like horrible?

The boudin market has come a long way in the last 10-15 years and bad boudin is much less frequent than it used to be, because of the competition in the market and to a large extent, for this food board for discussing it, naming specific great places and increasing their popularity. If your stuff isn't excellent, you're extinct.

Bergeron's on Jefferson Highway in Harahan:

Went in and spoke to the guy running the place and asked him if it was the same recipe as the Lobdell location. He told me that he adjusted the recipe to the local taste. The boudin was orange from all of the cayenne pepper. Rice was raw as well, looked like porcupine quills sticking out. Haven't been back.
