Johnson's Boucaniere
About Johnson's Boucaniere
Boudin (boo-dan) is traditionally a blend of cooked pork, rice, onions, peppers and seasonings stuffed into a sausage casing, although boudin makers today sometimes get creative with unusual fillings like seafood. Johnson’s Boucaniere is a smokehouse, specialty meats store and restaurant located in downtown Lafayette – and it’s a prime spot for this Louisiana delicacy. This Cajun eatery offers not only great boudin, but also but Louisiana sausage, andouille, tasso and barbecue. The meats are made using recipes from the world-famous Johnson’s Grocery store, which opened in 1937 and is located in the town of Eunice.
