Louisianians know their boudin, that’s for sure. If you find yourself in the heart of Cajun Country, you can’t go for more than a mile without a mom and pop shop selling some truly delicious boudin, and that’s just one of the many reasons why Louisiana is the best state in the country. When you’ve got a hankering for this iconic sausage, there’s one place that has some of the best boudin in Louisiana, and that’s Johnson’s Boucaniere.

Located in Lafayette, Johnson’s Boucaniere has been a staple for many locals for generations.
