For over 40 years, we’ve been serving huge portions of the best boiled, broiled and fried seafood in New Orleans. We’ve received countless accolades including a Food Network feature and a 2009 Zagat food and service rating of “very good to excellent”. But nothing’s better than being consistently rated by fellow New Orleanians as their favorite. Join us in Bucktown and in the French Quarter or have our market ship seafood anywhere in the U.S. Because you haven’t done New Orleans, until you’ve done Deanie’s.]]>

If you're lucky, Miss Sue will sing three or four songs with the band, but then it's back behind the bar to greet the customers and make sure her two daughters and two granddaughters who come in to help out are keeping the mugs full of suds, and smiles on all the faces.]]>

Comments: This tiny place is right along Interstate 10 and it is smack dab in the middle of boudin territory with serious contenders in all direction. It is holding its own though.

A cute and cozy shack that houses the self titled Boudin King and Cajun Way restaurant. A fun crew is in the kitchen, scurrying about and trying their best, to turn out the delicious food items on the menu.

It is very important to remember that Crowley is the "Rice Capital of America." So, if the boudin at the Boudin King seems to have a lot of rice in it . . . . . well . . . . . . . . Still, if you call yourself the Boudin King, the links you make better be top notch. In Crowley this link stands as a decent culinary expression.

Comments: A hearty link. One benefit of being a little dry is that it is not at all greasy and that makes you feel a little better about downing the entire and entirely delightful link.

Overall Taste: Odd. It certainly possesses an animal protein taste to it. However, it does not boast a decidedly porky taste. There seem to be many unique items inside the casing, not all of which are typically noticeable in boudin. Is this a good thing? The sogginess of the meat and rice merge into a distinct whole, but the end result is mediocre. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/heberts-meat-market-slaughterhouse/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/heberts-meat-market-slaughterhouse/ Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:31:30 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/heberts-meat-market-slaughterhouse/ 29.99190600 -92.10117800 <![CDATA[Eunice Superette and Slaughterhouse]]>

Folks who like boudin the way it used to be made will like this one a lot. It is rich and complex with various pork parts contributing to the overall tang. It is hard to put one's finger precisely on it, but a certain sweetness comes either from the pork liver or, perhaps, according to our celebrity sampler, parsley that has begun a light fermentation. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/eunice-superette-and-slaughterhouse/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/eunice-superette-and-slaughterhouse/ Sat, 27 Jun 2009 12:05:45 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/eunice-superette-and-slaughterhouse/ 30.48754900 -92.44046700 <![CDATA[Poche's Market]]>

And we’d eat it and say, Man it’s—it could be better than that. I said, Well they’re making some money with all the people in there, but then actually we said, Man we could make it better. I said, Let me go talk to Miss Lun Thibodaux. She’s the lady with—had the slaughterhouse—32 years had the slaughterhouse. And her husband was Lee Thibodaux. They were friends of my mama and daddy. And so I said, Maybe we’ll open up a little place. I said, You going to come show me how to make some boudin? She said, Sure, I’ll come show you.

Let’s get to the boudin. So, can you tell me about how you developed, without letting out any secrets, but just how you came to a recipe for this shop?

Well we kicked it around a little bit and tried to decide what all would go in the boudin, and I will tell you that we decided that we would not put liver in the boudin. People who like boudin with liver will still eat the one without the liver, and then the people who don’t like liver will—they’re, they definitely concentrate on coming here. We actually, the day before we opened—we opened on September 10th and on September 9th we created the recipe for the boudin here at The Sausage Link.]]>

Can you talk about what your boudin is like and the ratio of meat to rice and the amount of liver and the spiciness of it?

We have a recipe and it’s I would say 60-pounds of meat, 5-pounds of liver—pork liver and we have onions, bell pepper, and salt and a little black pepper and red pepper—cayenne pepper and about 20-pounds of rice and one batch of 60-pounds makes about 100-pounds of boudin and each specialty store has their own recipe and they all love their own recipe but we’ve—well, we have the best. We average about 10,000 pounds a week every week and about 200 batches of cracklings every week. So the amount that you sell—you make and you sell well it lets, you know, who has the best product, and I don’t think there’s anybody else around that sells this much product in South Louisiana.]]>

Adolph “The Boss” Bourque raised a menagerie of livestock at his home in Port Barre, Louisiana, to feed his family. In 1948 he began selling cuts of meat, eggs, and vegetables to neighbors out his front door. Eventually, he turned his living room market into a freestanding business, with his three sons working at his side. In the 1970s, brothers Carl and Lester Bourque worked together to develop a family boudin recipe for Bourque’s Supermarket. Today, Adolph’s grandsons, Shannon and Chad Bourque, are at the helm of the family business. Under their watch, the boudin got some extra attention; they put their aprons on and got to work, and after approval from the Bourque family, the new boudin recipe made its public debut. It also made its nationwide debut. Bourque’s Supermarket now has an online store and ships boudin everywhere from Houston to Hawaii.]]>

After the September 11, 2001 attacks on America, the City of Lake Charles acquired two World Trade Center beams from the City of New York and one slab of Pentagon limestone from the U.S. Government. The Lake Charles Fire Department escorted these materials to the Civic Center to be used in a memorial honoring those who lost their lives that day. After several public meetings, local artists designed the Memorial using ideas generated by people from the community. A local architect assisted with the plans for construction while community volunteers worked to raise the necessary funds. The World Trade Center beams rise from a reflecting pool and visitors may touch one of the beams from the walkway. Each piece of glass embedded in the "Ribbon of Souls" represents one of the lives lost in the attacks. Earth tones represent the World Trade Center; blue, the Pentagon; and green; the Pennsylvania field. The clay tiles contain fingerprint impressions made by people from the community and silently communicate that 9/11 touched all of our lives. Engraved in the Pentagon limestone are the names of a Lake Charles native and a Sulphur native who died during the attacks. The 9/11 Memorial provides a serene setting for meditation and reflection. It is a quiet place to remember the catastrophic events of September 11 and pay tribute to the lives lost that day. It stands as a testimony to the strength of the American character and to the principles of liberty and justice that bind us together as a free nation. ]]>

It's design, one of only two built in the United States of this type, is a square pyramid, fully enclosed in boiler plate. Originally, it had a fixed white oil light standing 54 feet above mean high water, which was visible for 14 miles. This lighthouse remained active until March 30, 1916; it was decommissioned when Point Au Fer Reef Lighthouse was built. For over seventy years the Southwest Reef Lighthouse stood marking the passage into the Atchafalaya Bay as a day beacon until it was moved ashore and fully restored by the Town of Berwick in October 1987. ]]>

A dozen or two just-opened raw oysters on the half shell and a full-size oyster loaf is a feast for two. ]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/casamentos/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/casamentos/ Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:43:02 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/casamentos/ 29.92083600 -90.10109300 <![CDATA[Brenda's Diner]]>

What a gem! This is the sort of restaurant we pray to find. Hard-crusted pork chops are audibly juicy inside, with an earthy tenderness that will have you gnawing to the bone. The chicken has a more fragile crust; its juices burst forth at first bite. Once inside the tiny home, you feel the warmth of honest hospitality.

James Lasyone’s Natchitoches meat pie is a vividly seasoned mélange of pork and beef enclosed in a half-circle pastry crust. It is deep fried until the crust is golden crisp and the moist, seasoned meat inside is steaming hot. Be sure to conclude your meal with a piece of Cane River cream pie -- a variant of Boston cream pie, but with gingerbread instead of white cake.]]> http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lasyones-meat-pie-kitchen/ http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lasyones-meat-pie-kitchen/ Sat, 11 Apr 2009 10:30:07 -0700 http://virtualglobetrotting.com/map/lasyones-meat-pie-kitchen/ 31.76147400 -93.08780200 <![CDATA[Domilise's Po-Boy and Bar]]>
