Kinda strange first post
 

Pensacola guy here and first post. Lurked here for a few months and have really enjoyed learning to read cajun, we speak southern over here. But this weekend me and a friend are heading your way, We will be going down to the Venice area to drop off some diapers at a couple of churches for them to give to anybody that may need them. No fishing as i am not bringing my boat, but was looking for some Good Places to eat down that way and buy some boudin or any other thing that is a good time. We will be traveling down highway23/11 .
Thanks, Barry

If you want good cajun food (especially boudin) you need to go west of the Mississippi and south of Alexandria.

This should fire some people up.

Lafayette area for boudin and real Cajun food.......new Orleans area is "Creole"(*****)........

Pensacola huh????? Why the heck would you waste Money on a whaler when you have cape horn in your back door??? Lol!!!

Man, that new Cape Bay is awesome, it has nearly 0 bow rise on take off... I want one!

There's some vids on you tube.....only prob is they have a Yamaha 4stroke on it

Ray....help this guy out with some places to eat...You know all of them.;)

There is a place before you get to Empire that has good poboys... cant think of the name but it is on the right side of the road when you are going south. As for boudin its tough to find good boudin in that area like everyone else says. You can order some good stuff and have it shipped to you. Im pretty sure Heberts Specialty Meats in Maurice ships nationwide. Their stuffed chickens are amazing too the phone number there is (337) 893-5062. Also the Best Stop in Scott and Don's specialty meat in Carencro ship nationwide as well.

X2 on best stop I drive there from B.R. just to buy andoullie.
As for boudin we got a top notch place right down the street from the house .
jerry Lee's. i've had dons and best stop and he beats those hands down.

that is a debate that will never be settled

Jerry Lee's is some good stuff...I used to negotiate a contract down there for a group of workers and they would stop in the morning and pick some up...They said he only makes so much every day and when it's gone you have to wait until tomorrow...

Never have liked the Best Stop's boudin....to wet for me.

Went get some for the guys at my office this morning. 3 lbs didn't last long with the vultures over here!

Where is this place, I'm going to have to try it.

10 mins away baby!!!!!!! Ain't nothing like his Hog head cheese & crakers for breakfast!!!!!!!!

Hey Whaler........going down Hwy 23 when you get in Bura's turn at the (HUGE) American Flag.....you cant miss it go to the end of the street about 300 yds turn right & it's right there. The Black Velvet, very good seafood restrauant. Very good seafood gumbo there along with everything else.

Whaler, ask for Bryan, tell him Jordan Franovich said to... thats my uncle...

Don't do it Whaler....they will double your bill for knowing Jordan....:p

naaaaaaaaa, its byron, not bryan.... stupid phone........ he sells guns also....

Byron that has Delta Marine?

no, at his house/shop across the street:pissed:
