There was a store in back Vacherie years ago that made a meatloaf looking andouille but it was in a casing. I think they called it maudlin. We used to slice it and fry it in a pan for sandwiches.


Place was called La Bon Boucon. Great little market, but, sadly, the owner passed away and store shut down. Maudlin was one of his specialties. His children produce a few items, but think most are just sold locally in Vacherie.
Anyone remember Canefield Tavern?

It was in the Strip by AM Mart, possibly in the old Brew-Bacher’s Nicholson location. Seemed to always have a good crowd.

Breck’s Bistro was very good.

Don’t recall why it closed, but was a great spot in that part of town. Was it where Modesto is, or a different place around there? I don't recall.


Yes, it was where Modesto is.
I think Our Mom’s suffers at times due to staffing issues causing inexplicable waits when restaurant is not full. We went a few weeks ago and throughly enjoyed it. Great burgers!

Port Au Prince in Homer, La. Right on Lake Claiborne with great views from restaurant. Only serves 2 main entrees - all you can eat catfish (whole or filets) or ribeye steak. Simple sides come with the meal and great homemade pies.

Charter schools are public schools and are included in those numbers.

Louisiana Lagniappe has it on their menu fairly often. They have old school stuffed heads.
Grew up in LaPlace and love that style of Andouille. Coarse grind, bigger casings, simple ingredients and heavy smoke. Favorite there is WJ Smokehouse, but it is pricey.

Actually had some today from Benoit’s in Addis and it was incredible. Very similar to LaPlace andouille, and only $7.99 lb.

I’ve tried Bourque’s and threw it away. Odd crumbled texture with a lot of fat, very little smoke. I love their smoked sausages and boudin.

Matherne’s Deli and, surprisingly, Albertson’s has great moist cake like cornbread

It's a super thick batter coating on the boudin balls. It actually will peel off clean if they over fry it. It's actually disgusting and I can't stand it.


Agree 100%

NuNu’s has great crispy boudin balls. Plain and pepperjack. Smaller than the others and crisp outside.
Should only be allowed in the building with an escort. Standard practice.

Was he not searched?


One other story was a gun was taken from an officer in the interview room. No idea if true, but another option. Horrible situation either way.

Prayers for deceased officer, Sheriff’s son and the department.
No, but I did see a Raising Cane video and, get this, his Dad already ordered for him ??
Get a colonoscopy.

Had first one at 50 and was clear. Told to come back in 10 years. No symptoms, but scheduled next one about 9.5 years later, and they found stage 3 colon cancer. Had surgery to remove colon section with mass and looking at chemo within the month.

Recommended age now to start is 45…
