Local Places to Get a Boudin King Cake
Remember a couple of years ago the craze that was the boudin king cake? Well, the desire for these sweet and savory concoctions still exists.
This take on the king cake was first whipped up by UL's Dr. Bob Carriker. (He's the same fella who started the big Boudin Cook-Off in downtown Lafayette a few years ago.)
Dr. Carriker initially planned to make just a few and sell but quickly realized he was in a bit over his head. That's when he partnered with Twins Burgers and Sweets in Lafayette to make his vision come true.
The boudin king cake is filled with boudin (well duh!) and then topped with cane syrup and cracklin crumbs.
So, we begged the question: Where can I get a boudin king cake?
