y'all Know of any place on I-10 that has some good boudin?
To cook yourself or to get at a restaurant?
Either or. I have never cook boudin. Guess I could give it a try.
This is in Loxley, but I know nothing about it or if it is still in business.
Not on I-10, but close.
Lil G's Cajun Market - Loxley, Alabama
Psycho, I notice your location as being OKC. Are you down here already? If not a stop in Louisiana along the way would be a better option for locating some good boudin. If you can cook (heat up) sausage or even hot dogs, you can handle boudin. Making it is a whole different story.
Thanks Fin! I will check them out. Another stop helps us break up the 15hr drive
We are still in Okc. We leave may-10 to head to Gulf ShoreQuote:

Simply Seafood in Timan's Corner has it (to cook). They are a half mile from I-10 and would be on your way to GS.
I-35 to dallas, I-20 to shreveport, 49 to lafayette then pick up I-10 all the way in. We will be going north of NOLAQuote:

I'll get back to you with a list of places to get some good boudin.
Great Thanks!Quote:

I was neighbors with Kristen (owner of CHOPS) and use to always tell her she needed to make a perfume that smelt like cracklins. That girl always smelt good! Haha!
The place in Loxely that fin mentioned is pretty good also, I work with the owners nephew. The prices are on the high side but the quality and taste make up for it as goes anything.
Chops Specialty Meats
CHOPS plate lunches are on point too!
Hey thanks alot!Quote:

Only problem with Parrain's is the horrible parking. The food is good, though.

What I really miss are the CC houses all over the place and getting a Turtle mocha-ssippi every morning...no wonder I gained 10 lbs while I was there.
All these places are making me hungery! I might gain 10lbs on the way there.
Have you ever tried to get a spot around back, under the Perkins Rd. exit ramp? I haven't been there in over 10 years and I think they have expanded the building some since then at the expense of parking spots.Quote:

It doesn't have much to offer besides drive thru daqururi huts, a casino (Paragon Casino), and damn good hunting (Lake Ophelia & Grassy Lake). The food there in Avoyelles Parish is second to none. If I had to have one last link of Boudin, it would defiantly be (Smoked Red Boudin) from T-Jim's in Cottonport La. There's also "Juneaus Specality Meats" in Marksville close to the Casino. If you buy frozen crawfish, there's a good chance it comes from Avoyelles Parish, Bernard's Seafood is also in Cottonport. They also have a restaurant called "Bernard's Cajun Sea Fry".
If eating is your thing, a hour or two delay won't disappoint you. If you have kids, they'll think the hotel at the Paragon Casino is pretty neat. Live gators that swim around the lobby of the hotel. If you have any questions about the area I can answer them. I spent 18 yrs leaving my mark there.
Heres a few links to some of the mentioned places.

I doubt you'll be disappointed by any of the places mentioned. Didn't mean to take anything away from what DRH, Delta, and DD posted. Just throwing out options for you. We all have our favorite places but even a quick stop at a random mom and pop store for a link of boudin is hard to beat. Grab you a Natchitiches meat pie too at one of your stops, that's a weekly ritual for me commuting back n forth from La.
Thanks everyone for the replys. Think we have enough places to stop on the way there and the way back home now!
All this talk about Boudin made me hungry. So...
