Johnson's Boucaniere's slow-smoked country-style rib plate lunch boasts boneless, hand-selected shoulder-cut pork, which are dusted with Johnson's dry rub and smoked, then served with Johnson's homemade barbecue sauce. The plate lunch comes with choice of jambalaya or link of boudin and two additional sides - those in the know recommend the cucumber and tomato salad with ingredients straight from the garden.
