Pepper Jack.
For real, they make that?

Billy's makes boudin balls with a cube of pepper jack right in the center.

They're pretty legit, but that's boudin balls, not boudin.

Ever tried the Crawfish version?

I have not. Who makes a good crawfish boudin? I'm open to try other types, but I'm not a big fan of smoke/grilled boudin that everyone likes.

I don't do the seafood links, but Billy's crawfish wraps are very good and I like the crawfish balls a little better. The crawfish pies are also good.

I like boudin boudin. Like it's supposed to be.

Just can't wait until we get the gluten free vegan version.

Regular. Either Nunus, T-Boys, or Billy’s.

Well, boudin is gluten free, as it has no wheat products. And fine dining restaurant DTB on Oak St in NOLA has a vegetarian boudin ball on its menu....made with smoked mushrooms and eggplant.

This is what happens when NOLA attempts Cajun.

Yep. That shouldn’t be called boudin. Disrespectful.

C'mon, you grumpy people. DTB (short for Down the Bayou) is fine dining--an arena where creative reinterpretation is the point, not the exception. The folks behind DTB are indeed from DTB. Why is it heretical for a Cajun chef to play around with his/her own food, especially when that food is as flexible and inclusive as Cajun food?

Live a little, y'all. Someone might have a riff that is as tasty as the original!

Coming from another angle, is the viet fusion food at Mopho automatically bad because it isn't precisely old school Vietnamese? Or because the chef isn't Asian?

T-Jim’s smoked is my favorite. Their smoked blood boudin is incredible as well

Just looking at T-Jim's website. Looks like my kinda folks.. a Cajun that remained true to his family's techniques and traditions. Would like to stop in and try em out.
