Boudin

Fortunately, the po'boy turnaround started by Katrina lives on with excellent versions at restaurants like BB's TexOrleans, which imports its bread from Leidenheimer Baking Company in New Orleans.

Boudin has had a similar cycle of rise, fall, rise in Houston.

Of course, boudin has been in Southeast Texas almost as long as Acadians have been in Southwest Louisiana.

So long, in fact, that this meat and rice sausage link has its own unique spelling.

Even today, Lake Charles is still rebuilding from that storm and others that came after it.

Some classic Cajun Creole restaurants there, including the great Sausage Link Meat Market in nearby Sulphur, have closed for good.

Fortunately, one of the best boudin outlets in all of Louisiana, Sonnier's Sausage and Boudin, is still going strong in Lake Charles.

I can only hope it might decide to join the boudin migration to Houston and open a location here.

And if you've ever been to Marksville, then you know Juno's Cajun Meats, guys.

Boudin, Hall Cracklins, Chicken Cracklins.

Fork ribs, whatever you want, all your specialty meats, they have all of it.

So we stopped at Juno's, got a little lunch.

Really good.

Boudin noir, pan-seared, served with apples.

And a sweet apple goes so

great with that because it's a little bit kind of...

Rensburg.

Man, that boy loves himself some boudin.

Hey, don't you fucking fuck with Boudin.

Boudin's amazing.

And hey, if you're out there, you're going, what the fuck's Boudin? Boudin is...

It's blood

sausage.

ate brain once and I was like, this is not necessary.

Was there a favorite dish that you remember having as a child in these restaurants?

Boudin.

Tablis de sapeur.

Andouillettes.

to my hotel room.

I just wanted some good Boudin balls.

Boudin this

pussy.

You know what I mean?

And I like his fact that it was sort of...

The idea was that it's a shadow, an echo, or whisper of what Boudin could... be and that was the interesting part for me about it and some of the tropes towards the end that's felt more like the fiction part of it i felt like oh you didn't need that that felt more you're jamming that in you know um also get those i think so we

kind of know

how we know how the story ends yeah you don't need to go that's a really good picture of you and it's the one that ends up on the kitchen confidential but you're like okay we get that's the picture we get it you know we understand this um There's a thing that annoys me most about it, they all keep going from a seafood restaurant straight to a party, and like, no wonder, because you'd be absolutely stinking.

I was just reading some of your stuff again.

And was it Boudain's? And then he had worked there and then he had some personal problems and then he came back and he's working for, is he working for Aaron? Or he's working for somebody down there.

Yeah.

Yes.
