Looking for cracklins in NOLA.

I'd drive to Bergeron's in Harrahan, but it's too damn far from the lower garden district. Surely there has to be a place closer?
TIA.

Chris' Specialty Meat has them, but they aren't all that good.
Toups Meatery is the only other place I can think of. They are damn good. Not sure if you wanted a restaurant place though.

Grabbed some last Friday on my way home. They were garbage. I had never seen the guy cooking them before.

Those don’t look like good cracklings to me

He was a black guy late 20's/early 30's. Not sure of his pigment.
Some pieces were burned and the flavor was different. I'll go back again bc they were good in the past. I just can't stand wasting $10 on 1/2 lb of cracklin I can't eat.

AND, when the wife and I were in there last fall I asked about the price by the pound and the guy told me, "I'll give you the price by the 1/4 lb. and you can do the math."
He said $7.50 a 1/4 lb. and that works out to $30 a lb. Stupid prices for fried pork fat with a little meat on it.

Was he retarded?

No. I think he was too embarrassed to tell me $30 a lb.

I have never been in there (in my area)..something told it was going to be ridiculously expensive..
I don't get why cracklings are so expensive..

Most of what I saw in there was a good 20%+ over what you could get it elsewhere, but you have to consider its location being in the heart of Lakeview.
As for the price of cracklings, I too don't get it. I do know you lose a LOT of weight in the cooking process when they render off a lot of their fat because I do them at home using pork bellies I get from Costco. And like mentioned, they have to be tended to almost constantly to keep them stirred in the pot as they cook.

The going price should be and is ~$20/lb. Chris' is really high at $30/lb.

No store is paying $3-$4 a lb. for pork belly. That is what they are selling it for to customers. I'd bet they are only paying around $1.50-$2 a lb. wholesale.
