Boudin is one of Louisiana's great comfort foods. A mixture of beef, pork and rice stuffed in a natural casing, boudin is enjoyed at most events where Cajun food is featured. And here in Jennings one can find not just the Boudin King of the state or even of the country, but, by act of the Louisiana legislature, we have the Boudin King of the Universe. When you finish sampling the boudin, try one of the king's fried seafood dinners, a delicious po-boy or warm your insides with a bowl of his gumbo. Boudin travels well when frozen and is a great treat to bring home to share with your friends. They've got it frozen, packaged and ready to travel or ship.
