I know, I know. Acadianians will be raising their eyebrows already. But the news was selected judiciously; the guy behind this boudin is not a Cajun. But he did fall in love with one, and a St. Martin Parish Cajun at that.
The owner of the Bywater’s newest restaurant, Beaux Church has traveled the state’s boudin trails with his partner Dillian Theriot, developing his Cajun palate along the way. Hoping to offer authentic Cajun cuisine in a city that often uses the descriptor a bit too casually, Church opened Frissons in the former Rosalita’s taco shop building in September—serving a menu of traditional, steamed, and grilled boudin with sides of Cajun potatoes, rice dressing, and gumbo. He’ll also offer gluten-free and vegan options for most of his dishes (yes, even the boudin), and weekly plate lunches. There are plans, naturally, for Cajun and zydeco bands to join the party, too.
