 Ambiance:
Don's sits next to Interstate 49 on the way out of Lafayette. It is a busy place that stands alone off of the service road.  The parking lot is always full of cars, particularly in the morning as people stop in for a pork chop sandwich or a link.  They also sell a variety of meats prepared on the premises including stuffed pork chops, sausage, and bacon-wrapped chickent breast.  The staff is friendly and helpful.

She's got the boudin by the handfull.

The Boudin
Cost: $2.69 lb
Presentation: Wrapped in butcher paper and placed in a brown paper bag at the register.
Casing: Moist, yet breakable.
Rice/Meat Ratio: Excellent.  More meat than rice.  Good meat without much grease.
Texture: The rice was well cooked and not broken into bits.  It retained its form.  Meat appeared in small pieces providing a good feel and some body. Bits of green onion throughout add to the color of the product.
Spices: A subtle mild spiciness.  The heat from the red pepper grew after each bite but was never "hot."
Overall Taste: Darn good link of boudin.  Excellent pork taste.  Moist but not wet.
Comments: We recommend this spot without hesitation.  They also offer a wide variety of other food products. The beef jerky was excellent and the cracklins are first rate.
