(Duson, Louisiana)
 Mike's is much more than it looks like from the outside.  Pic  Delicious shrimp, boudin balls, pork chops, fries, and more. |
Ambiance: The
name says it all. This really is on a corner in the country
and it is a rustic and wonderful place. Rumor has it that they
will expand in the near future. No doubt that will be good for
business, but the rustic, "country" feel may suffer a bit. Contact: 337-8733467 Hours: Mon-Sat 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM; Sun 5:30 AM to 7:00 PM The Boudin
Price: $3.49 lb.Presentation: Wrapped up in large pieces of thin foil Casing: A bit elastic. Good for squeezing. Meat/Rice Ratio: Seemingly more meat than rice Texture: Creamy. Rice and meat broken down to the point of being almost indistinguishable from one another. Spice: Mild/Medium Overall Flavor: A delicious flavor blend of ingredients with a rich flavor that is marked by black pepper and a few lonely, but nice and crunchy, green onions. Comments: A enjoyable flavor is somewhat compromised by an overly smooth texture. Even so, Mike's is certainly worth your time and their fist-sized boudin balls are some of the largest around. Make sure to pick up an egg sandwich too (why you ask?: egg, ham, bread, mayo = yum!). It is also worth mentioning that Mike's took home a number of awards at the 2008& 2009 Boudin Cook-Off where they put their products up against the top boudin makers in the area.    |
