| The Boudain Hut |
| Location: 5714 Gulfway Dr., Port Arthur, TX. Ambiance: There are a lot of comments to be made: This place is first and foremost a bar. The addition of a door and then a window inside the very small entryway for ordering food was clearly an afterthought to serve the walk-in "crowd" a quick meal of gumbo, crawfish pies, hot dogs, boudain, and so on and so on. It is a little odd to go in and order from the window and the whole experience is peculiar to the first-timer. A little odd. A little intimidating. A little bit of Port Arthur. |
| OVERALL RATING: B- |
| THE BOUDIN
Price: $2.49lb Presentation: Order at the window inside the front/back door and it'll be wrapped in a nice sheet of foil. Casing: Rubbery, but not too rubbery. Eventually it will snap off with enough incisor pressure. Rice to Meat Ratio: More rice than meat: Significantly more rice than meat. Texture: The stubby links are tied off on each end and packed with a mushy with a combination of regular sized kernels of rice and tiny bits of rice. The meat is pulverized/ground. The green onion and parsley component it high, but not too much. Spices: Mild/Boring Overall Taste: Uninteresting. Comments: They serve the boudain with, of all things, mustard packets: Mustard!? |

| So, you pull up to the front which is really the back and you go through this little "to go" door. Then you approach this other little window that looks down the back of the bar where this nice lady will pluck your boudain from a warming tray. |
