Traditional math tells me 300lbs at 5lbs a head, but I have a feeling I'm going to be left with way more than I wa...

If you haven't tried Boudin by Jamison, you're missing is out. His is the best around and it's not even close. Check him out on FB to order for Thursday pickups or he does some markets on the weekend. As someone mentioned he's won the people's choice a couple times now at the boudin festival ...
