"We are excited to welcome so many first time teams to the competition. This year will be a real treat for boudin lovers because we have Cochon of Lafayette, J.W.'s Meats and Smokehouse from Breaux Bridge, and Fatback Boucherie out of Austin, Texas, to name just a few of the new entrants,” - Dawn Carriker,  Event Organizer.
