As folks in South Louisiana know, Cajun boudin sausage is a delicious blend of rice, pork, and spices injected into a natural casing and served everywhere from the fanciest restaurants to gas stations in the country. One thing is for sure, boudin is some of the finest Cajun food you'll ever eat. While most locals believe that they know where the "best" boudin is made, The BoudinLink is THE GUIDE to boudin. Take us with you as you grab a boudin and beer to blaze a boudin trail and let us be your companion on your next boudin run.

Callie the Boudin Balancing Dog

Callie, our beloved family pet, and the unofficial mascot of BoudinLink.com since its inception, passed away in December, 2010. She tagged along on just about every boudin run we’ve taken (even the ones to Washington, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, and Florida).  She rarely got to eat any boudin, but she would dutifully balance a link on her snout when asked to perform her signature trick.  Callie was a truly remarkable Rhodesian Ridgeback.  She was gentle, confident, and even considerate.  We could not have had a better canine friend and companion.  As a tribute to her memory she will remain the site’s mascot. Thanks.
