Crescent Pie & Sausage (New Orleans, Louisiana) |
 Crescent Pie & Sausage  Pickles and ground mustard . . . . I've seen this trick before *.   Top rate jambalaya: hearty and packed with meat. |
Ambiance: A
small and classy neighborhood type restaurant serving super high
quality food with an emphasis on Cajun, but venturing into other
delicious items (meat pies, duck pies, great pizza pies, gourmet mac-n-cheese,
homemade potato chips . . . and more). Dog friendly too on the
outside porch. The whole place just feels right. Location: 4400 Banks Street, New Orleans, LA 70119
The Boudin
Price: $4 for one small
link (see picture to the left). Order it off the appetizer
menu.Presentation: The link is grilled and served with a couple of pickle slices and a dollop of ground mustard on one of the restaurant's colorful plates (of which they have an eclectic array). Casing: a crisp casing when the link comes to you right off the grill. Meat/Rice Ratio: More meat than rice. Enough rice to satisfy your grainy desires, but this baby is packed with meat. Texture: A moist filling with tremendous amounts of juicy and tender mashed pork. The meat still retains some texture and the rice is not over cooked. Not a lot of onions or peppers, but I did find a HUGE piece of cooked yellow onion in there. It was a pleasant and tasty surprise. Spice: Medium Overall Flavor: Fantastic!!! The little grilled link you'll get is packed with flavor. The meat has a smokiness that envelopes the entire link and provides a toothsome treat that will make you want to keep this appetizer all for yourself. Comments: Awesome. The whole experience here is great. All the food was fresh, hot, and tasty and the boudin is among the best we've ever sampled. A nice find. Thanks for the tip Lorin Gaudin.  Juicy and filled with tender pork. |
