Next on his list,
the infamous Popeyes buffet. The Popeyes buffet on Pinhook in Lafayette is quite special because it s the last one standing in the U.S. It s such a big deal, even famous food critics like the late Anthony Bourdain stop in to try it out. Unfortunately for Chen, the Popeyes buffet wasn t back up and running when he stopped, but I guarantee you he ll be back to experience it.
For his third stop in Acadiana before heading east to New Orleans, Chen checked out Billy s Boudin and Cracklins. Obviously, he s not saying boudin right, but just like with the etouffee, we re not going to deduct points based on his bravery. Most people take a lil step back the first time they encounter boudin, but he rips right into it! Chen made his way through regular boudin, crawfish boudin, cracklin, a Billy s boudin ball, and a Billy s boudin egg roll.
