Best Boudin in Port Arthur Area?

[GroceryGetter]

Excellent all around. Thanks, everyone. Looks like I will be giving Market Basket a shot next week in Groves. Going to try a few different kinds.

Bliss Box at 62 and I-10 in Orange has one of the better boudin's in the area. You definitely need to try their boudin eggroll with pepper jack cheese. Or across the border in Vinton, Insane Sausage.

I pass that Insane Sausages all the time and it always seems closed.

Now that someone said you can get Best Stop boudin in the area, I’d say Best Stop > Market Basket > DJs

In my opinion BS and MBs boudin are relatively close and they both blow DJs out of the water.

another vote for Market Basket.

I like Market Basket over Best Stop and or Billy's. Market Basket and DJ's are consistently good. The I-10 tourist traps not so much. I even told my sister to stop bringing Dons, Best Stop, and Billy's to the Xmas party every year. Over priced and over hyped. There is much better locally around Marksville. Or, I pick some up in Iowa, La. at InLaws.

They are only open Friday thru Sunday.

Market basket is awesome but last time I bought it the casing was paper thin and fell apart real easy. For pre vacuum sealed boudin you can’t beat DJ’s.

Market Basket and DJs is always excellent but don’t rule out Bouttes in Lumberton.

Been a while and I may spell it wrong but Judice’s

Yellow Rose in Winnie is also good and in the area. I agree with most above MB is awesome. I'm throwing Yellow Rose out there for the local guys who haven't tried it yet. Its a really good little meat market!

I've been eating Best Stop Boudin since 1981. It is still good but know where near where it was since going mass production. For the past 5+ years or so I have always picked Market Basket Boudin over BS and had the same results on many taste tests with groups when doing comparisons. From what I am told each store makes there own so its still relatively smaller batch processing.

For the OP, I'd get some of both. Market Basket and Best Stop from the local store since it is available. Variety is the spice of life so why have just one.

I am taking a note on the DJ's and will give it try. Sometimes we dont have any on deck in the freezer and need a fix. lol. Store bought mass produced boudin is always cooked on the grill or smoker when I'm doing the serving.

Noticed some comments where made about all the big names joints, Billy's, Don's etc. I agree. there are much better, small batch processing meat markets that deliver a much better product. A few of my favorites are Legnon's Boucherie in New Iberia, NuNu's Market in Youngsville, Johnson's Boucanier in Lafayette, In-Laws in Iowa

Speaking of Best Stop, has anyone tried their Crawfish boudin. They just started making it recently I saw somewhere on social media. I am wanting to try it, they have never made it before in all these years. I remember asking Mr. Cormier years ago when he worked behind the meat case every day and he never was interested, that's back in the day when Comeaux's was the place to go and they introduced the first crawfish boudin in the late 70's.

The enchilada boudin at insane sausage is great. If I am buying at the grocery store DJs is hard to beat..

Insane's enchilada is pretty decent for a change up. I always pick up a few packs when I am going thru the area. For me a typical run back home has me stopping at 4 or 5 places and a few coolers full of variety lol.
