Really like Days smokehouse in Watson. Their smoked sausage is extra Smokey which I like. They vacuum seal your ground meat and make it super flat so it’s easy to store. They also make their own tamales/burritos which are excllent.

Their boudin and hog head cheese are meh but I judge all boudin on Billy’s.

Fortenberry’s


I am absolutely NOT a fan of link venison sausage due to everyone doing a rough grind and not following it with a fine grind. Fortenberry’s Sweet Heat flavor is badass.

I process my own meat, but do keep a few gallon ziploc bags of cubed meat for tue Sweet Heat at the end of each season.

For the last few years, i used DD in Bogalusa for smoked sausage. Its ok.

For ground meat, we make our own, with beef brisket. 3:1 deer/brisket. For a few packs, add a lil more brisket for a greasy hamburger ( mark pack).
No more pork in burger meat

Anyone ever try the place in Franklinton C&C Smokehouse?

I just finished my last pack of ground last night. We eat a lot of venison from Mel Armond’s in Slidell. It’s ok and passable but I hate the packaging and wanna try someone new.

I like to:

Cook tenderloins in butter and herbs fresh
Dry age back straps and fry them
Dry age quarters and have ground meat and sausage made. Maybe some burritos

I had success dry aging a hind quarter last year and cutting steaks out of it. Was great.

My boys bought me a grinder and we made a couple of our own batches of venison/brisket. One batch added some ribeye fat I had the butcher save me. Never again will I mix with pork.

Vans and Cutrer’s both make really good sausage, but I don’t think Vans vacuum packs? I know Cutrer’s doesn’t. Both are relatively inexpensive. Love everything I’ve had done at Stacey’s, Tee Wayne’s does a good job on sausage and packaging, and Bergeron’s and Benoits are good as well, but all the ones close in are higher priced then the ones in the smaller more remote places. Haven’t really had a bad experience, all a matter of preference.

Petoskey’s in East Carroll Parish if I’m on that side of the world.

Yep, lived in Madison for 8 years and that is the only place I used. I haven't found anything that even comes close to their smoked sausage.

Their brown sugar and pineapple sausage is the best sausage I've ever had. All their other stuff is good too, but they take forever.

Same. I used to use pork because that's what everyone did years ago. Switched to ribeye fat 10 years or so ago. And will never go back. Not for hamburger meat anyway.
