Sal's Super Meat Market is exactly what it the sign says it it - a Pickled Meat Center…read more The next time I make some tasty red beans, I will grab some pickled delicious from here to toss in the mix. The meat counter is impressive - they have just about any part of any animal in there, nicely pickled pink. A lot of the selection is from the swine, and appears to be done in house. The butchers are knowledgable, and know their way around a pickled piece o' meat. The first time I swung in this joint, I picked up a twenty pound case of the $23.99 Spare Ribs. They were about exactly what one would expect from spare ribs that cost a buck a pound. They were very lean, very bony, very frozen, and very imported from Denmark. Will enough love and a good pitmaster, they were serviceable. Since then, I discovered the glories of the meat markets at Restaurant Depot and Costco - but they hardly carry any pickled meats. The rest of the store is just a small grocery store, with nothing at all exciting going on, especially with Casey Jones about 300 yards across the street. If you're headed to Sal's Super Meat Market, you're headed their for the largest selection of Pickled Meat that I know of in the Greater New Orleans Area. Four stars for the Pickled Meat niche.

Lots of good fresh and smoked meats at pretty reasonable prices…read more Sal's offer family meat packages with a variety of chicken sections, pork chops, ground beef and smoked neck bones or smoked turkey necks. HOWEVER!!!! I don't care for the atmosphere here at all and it can definitely use a super deep cleaning. I don't frequent this place often for a few reasons (the aforementioned sentence is one) but they're the only meat market on the Westbank that I know of with turkey necks (fresh and smoked) by the case. Mike's in Marrero is permanently closed. I purchased smoked neck bones for my red beans and oh my, my, they were absolutely delicious! They were roughly $2.49lb and I got plenty. I would say they're pretty decent for your smoked meats but....I'm not a fan of the inside looking and smelling dingy and all.

If you're looking for a shop that reminds you of the ones in Acadiana, look no further than…read moreBoudreaux's. I guess you could say that Cajun food and cooking are in my blood. As a child growing up in New Orleans I remember by grandfather from New Iberia coming to visit frequently. I have a lot of fond memories from his visits, but one of the things I remember is applicable to this review. Whenever he would arrive he would have several gifts for the family. I'm not talking about traditional gifts either. He would bring several packs of boudin and hogs head cheese from a local New Iberia shop. That must have had a lasting effect, because since then, I am on a never ending quest for good boudin and head cheese. I was on such a quest just the other day when I noticed Boudreaux's. The moment I walked in, I knew I was in the right place. There were coolers filled with stuffed chickens, roasts, pork loins, gumbo, étouffée and all other sorts of Cajun delights. In the fresh counter is where I focused my attention and will elaborate on a few items. Boudin - fresh, homemade and with the perfect combination of meat and rice. It had a slight kick, but not to overwhelming. Stuffed chicken thighs - stuffed with jalapeño cream cheese and wrapped in bacon. $375 for around 30 minutes covered and 20 uncovered. Oh my goodness gracious was this delicious. Even if you don't normally like thighs, I strongly recommend this item. Smoked boudin - I don't remember smoked boudin when I was growing up, but what a great idea. Boudreaux's version was perfect. Smoked sausage with pepper jack cheese - whatever you do, but some of this sausage. The sausage is made and smoked in house and this is, without a doubt, the best smoked sausage I've ever had. I don't know how it hod hold up in gumbo or some other dish, but it is amazing on its own. The people working behind the counter were friendly and very helpful. If you're like me and miss the Cajun butcher shops of Acadiana, I recommend you take a trip to Boudreaux's.

Worst boudin ever... chipped my tooth on a piece of bone in the boudin... the rice was either uncooked or burnt as well...the meat in it tasteless and colorless... I've been wrestling to even make this but whatever this business was at one point it is no more... hogsheads cheese didn't even set it was just a gelatinous pile of inedible muck... only a few items were priced wheee you could see everything else was just off the cuff it seemed... and to spend the amount of money i did and literally could not eat 2/4 items purchased... sweet people terrible execution. I hate having to post this but I can't be go along with just sweeping it under the rug. The only positive thing was the filets... but I got them cut and the were all different sizes nothing uniform about them. I'm sorry but man it was a rough experience.

Here at Très Bon, owner William "Billy" Newton is serving up all the Cajun meaty goodness you could…read moreever crave and you're going to smell it as soon as you enter the parking lot. Très Bon's menu includes pulled pork, brisket, grit bowls, cracklins, and ribs- and that's just scratching the surface. Their sandwiches include smoked brisket with pimento cheese, BBQ pork and slaw, and pulled pork with garlic mayo. If that's not enough for you, Très Bon offers deep fried Oreos and a Maple Bacon Sundae and they have a fridge full of sausage and other goodies packed up just waiting for you to take home- talk about "very good"! I had the pulled pork platter with corn grits and andouille mac ($13). This platter was delicious. First of all, the portions were huge! The pulled pork was actual pulled pork and not a pile of pork shavings covered in barbecue sauce that you tend to get at some other spots. It was juicy and smoky perfection on a plate. I never think of corn grits as a barbecue side, but Très Bon is here to change all of that- creamy and rich, they were perfect with the pork. The andouille mac was in a league of its own- VERY cheesy and the andouille was a nice touch, but totally not necessary as the mac spoke for itself. I loved the huge portions and cool atmosphere. Look around and you'll see old matchbooks on display, an extensive hot sauce collection and even vintage pinball machines. Really though, it's all about the delicious food at a great price.

You go to the counter and order you food while the young servers bring you your meal. The food was delicious! I had the brisket sandwich with a garlic Mayo that was delightful.

While I'm not crazy about Bourgeois Meat Market's andouille sausage, which I have found to be a bit…read moretough, I enjoy their regular smoked sausage, and I'm a huge fan of their Cajun Smoked Tasso. For the uninitiated: Tasso is fast-cured, seasoned, and smoked pork shoulder. It's used in stews and simmered foods, softening as it cooks, adding a delicious, unique flavor and bite that's typical of many Southern Louisiana (read: Cajun) dishes. Tasso's difficult to describe, but you'll know it when you taste it. I just received four 1-lb. packages of tasso, shipped from Bourgeois' smokehouse in Gray, LA via FedEx 2Day. The order arrived in good shape, and though the ice packs surrounding the meats had melted, the tasso was smoked (and so, fully-cooked) and it was vacuum-sealed. It went straight into my freezer, and it'll be fine. The cost to ship from Lafourche Parish to San Diego doubled the price of the product, from $7.24/lb to around $15, but I pay that much (or more) for quality steaks and seafood, here at home, and it was my choice to spend top-dollar for meat that I know, from experience, will make my gumbo, red beans, etc. taste better than I could otherwise make them. Kudos to the folks at Bourgeois Meat Market for offering a high-quality product, and for handling the purchase and shipping in a professional manner. I like visiting their shop when I'm in the area, but I LOVE that they don't make me get on a plane to eat what they're cookin'!

The house-made Italian sausage is, in my opinion, the best Italian sausage you can find. And the veal cutlets are thin, but not too thin, with the right amount of breading and seasonings. There are also a few shelves of chips, candy, and non-perishables. The staff is always friendly too! Highly recommend Tag's for po-boys and meats/cheeses.
