Billy's Boudin & Cracklins

This is a steel building close to Interstate 49. Their primary product is boudin (Billy’s Boudin and Ray’s Boudin). They do sell snacks, drinks, cracklin (excellent), some smoked sausage and a few other things, but boudin is really what this place is all about. A sparsely decorated interior is befitting of the inner-small town setting. They are no-nonsense group and you’ll have to wait in line for a bit as this is a very popular place to stop for a link or two. Oh, and they even have a drive-through boudin window The excellent flavor of this boudin begins with it’s delightful bouquet (It smells good.) You can actually smell the rice and pork intermingling in the steam pouring off the link. It boasts and excellent porky zest. While it might initially appear greasy, the juice is not too much and it is not off-putting. At the same time it is certainly a rich and filling link.
