Fightin' words: Scott seeks ‘Boudin Capital' title

by Walter Pierce

Janice's in Sunset, Billeaud's in Broussard, Don's in Carencro - boudin purveyors across Acadiana, in fact, who pride themselves on the nuances in their own priapic pork-and-rice delicacy - may beg to differ, but the city of Scott in northwest Lafayette Parish is poised to snag the crown "Boudin Capital of the World" via the blessings of the state Legislature this week.

A resolution before the House by Carencro freshman Democratic Rep. Stephen Ortego would confer the title on Scott, home to the Best Stop, a consensus pick as one of the better boudin makers in the region.
