In Scott, the boudin competition is in full force. Within a couple blocks, you can find an…read moreimpressive concentration of Cajun specialty food stores. Don's has the classic gas station setup, a ready to eat counter with BBQ and Cajun options, snack aisles, and fridge full of Cajun specialties. We ordered cracklings, boudin balls and crawfish pie. The boudin balls were the stand out. The cracklings were fresh and crunchy, but the seasoning is underwhelming. The crawfish pie missed the mark completely, not much crawfish, very doughy and the seasoning was pretty bland. Compared to the undisputed champion (looking at you, Billy's) with huge lines 24/7, Don's is a good option if you're willing to trade some of the quality with the convenience of no wait time.

Found this hidden butcher shop in Lafayette and MANN, I was blown away!!…read more I had some juicy, savory chicken cracklin, rooster cracklin, which consist of their chicken cracklin loaded with their homemade chili, cheese, onions, and jalapeños, sauced up with their rooster sauce. I decided to go the extra mile and make a burger box, which had my own burger creations, kirk chicken cracklins with their rooster sauce, and kirk jalapeño sausage. Overall, it was delicious!!!

We did get there very early talking before 10am they were so sweet and amazing still letting us order what was available and answering any and many questions we had regarding food options. Service was 5 out of 5 for our first moment in LA everyone was so kind and made our journey so worth it. We got the crawfish fettuccine with the Crawfish dressing and regular rice and an amazing biscuit. (Honestly I could order a dozen just for the road back) All the food was a 10 out of 5 and so sad I don't live closer as I know I will be dreaming of this food for the rest of my life! They have other food there like a grocery store and really thinking of going back just to buy some for the freezer for when I miss it most. And always like to take a moment to talk about the restrooms and when going to places like that I don't expect the nicest bathroom but they shocked the mess out of me. By far the best restrooms. If there is a way to give a place more then 5 I would give them 10 out of 5 over all!!! Will be coming back!

Every time I fly home, I go to Charlie Ts! Best boudin in the world!…read more I might live in California, but I was born and raised in Breaux Bridge. I've been eating this boudin since I was a kid. The quality and flavor haven't been compromised over the years at all! Each time I come back home, there seems to be another new boudin spot to try, with fancy fillings and a mascot/logo similar to Charlie Ts, but no matter how many I try, Charlie Ts always takes the number one spot! Their formula is just SPOT ON! The service is always great, although I do miss seeing Mr. Charlie in the store. There's nothing like seeing the man who fixed your boudin as a kid still doing the thing he loves! I'm happy for his retirement, but he is forever a part of my childhood! The store is very clean every time I visit, and there's ample parking out front. You will get more options the earlier you go. Trust me, everybody knows Charlie's is the best, so you don't want to wait until the afternoon when there are only a couple boudin balls left. Go early. I personally prefer their classic links and the regular pork boudin balls. The formula is perfect and doesn't really need the bells and whistles, to be honest, but if you prefer a party in your mouth, try the pepperjack cheese or even the spinach and cheese eggroll! They will not disappoint! And I can't forget, their cracklin is the BOMB! If I visit Breaux Bridge and don't bring back some cracklin to my mom in California, she gets cranky! Lol. I also appreciate the frozen options! I was able to fly some frozen boudin home and share with friends who'd never had boudin before. They loved it, and I'm glad I got to introduce them to the BEST :)

I wish I had just went to Billy's because they gave me a 1/2 lb bag of cold(room temp) cracklins. I don't know if they realize their heat lamp may just be a regular lamp. It wouldn't have been that bad if the cracklins were actually good. It was like eating sand. I don't if this is typical taste/texture for them or not but they tasted like they were made 3 days ago and they just sprinkled some great value brand "Cajun" seasoning on them. I've stopped at the most sketchy looking gas stations and had better cracklins. I doubt I'll try them out again... but if you're looking for some good cracklins... stick to Billy's. I can't speak for Don's other meats though , hopefully it's better quality than the cracklins.

Valentine's Day yelp review. There were no fireworks or flowers. Normally I hit the cemetery before…read morethe big day but I was pressed for time and had a long drive to see the busy counselor. Don't judge those people don't need flowers anymore. I reduce reuse and recycle. (I'm pandering shamelessly to the millennials and all their over judgy nonsense!) I digress. I was also out of fireworks and no stand along the Highway. I love a non traditional celebration. If u can find someone who can get into the moment and get all off season with u all the better. Facebook foreplay before the big day was on point. No memes or themes were off limit no matter how sacred the holiday. If that's not the fat, winged cherub shooting a dart I don't know what is. My partner in crime (we are still negotiating terms of endearment and I'm anticipating extra points for this one! PS if anyone has any "appropriate terms" for this stage of the "relationship" please feel free to leave them in the comments below. She often underestimates the powers of "my people".) She secured 2 bottles of prime Beaujolais nouveau 2021. They went down like a fat kid on a see saw. It is a mutual favorite (the wine to be clear. I was forbidden from mentioning other seasonally appropriate mutual favorites on pain of death) and we both sat and sipped as we watched the sun go down. One could suppose the passing of a step mom and grueling several weeks and covid recovery and work and stress over meeting her people and indecision on a fixed plan for the big day and kids in town and all underfoot and the cold and general fall lingering malaise would completely derail this occasion. Nothing could be further from the truth (another possible epitaph for the author. I'm on fire for 3 am). Good times and tears were had by all. It created a bittersweet parting/starting moment that was very pleasant on the palate. It was a brief "date" but we savored each moment. Lots has happened over the last several weeks. We are navigating the rapids together, me at the helm looking the part and her on the oars. I know I have a yelp "following" and I didn't want to disappoint on the big day. Working on bringing it every day because you never know when you'll be yelp reviewed. Peace out
