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'!

I usually don't comment with competitor options, but, if you want the best Boudin in the state of Louisiana, it's not too far from this place T-Rey's is so much better. I would hope this place would start looking at their products and putting a little bit more care into it.

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.

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.

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'm new to Hammond, so I was thrilled to find out I had such an awesome meat market less than a mile from my house. My boyfriend and I went in to place an order and check out their frozen/refrigerated selection as well. We decided to have some lunch (which was equally fantastic) while we waited for our order to be cut. We ended up leaving with about 22lbs of meat for around $80-85 -- and it's all cut on site. That is unbeatable. Not to mention the icing on the cake is the staff is all incredibly friendly and helpful! They helped us carry our order to our car in the middle of the rain. I really can't say enough positive things about this place. They also have a Ponchatoula location, which I'm sure is just as wonderful as Hammond. All in all, I wish I could give these guys more than a 5 star review. They are truly a gem in Hammond and I hope they stay in business for a very, very long time.

There were even giant sacks of camellia beans. I opted for an andouille sandwich on a bun and some onion rings. You order in the back. It was pretty quick, less than 5 min or so. The food was good! The onion rings were thin and crispy and the sandwich was good too, with crispy andouille slices. I would pop in here for lunch again when I'm in the area.
