Posting here rather than in Cooking because I don't want to confuse with other forms of boudin. I'm anxiously waiting for the Fed-Ex guy to deliver my order from Poche's which is mostly sausages & tasso. Would y'all help me with some ideas for boudin recipes - links not balls. Thanks, Doug

Don't want to hijack this thread, but I've been waiting for cooler weather to order one and need any recs you may have. Has anyone had one from Poche's? Also, which is the 'traditional' stuffing - I think Poche's has a few to choose from. Thanks, Doug

Liz, Haag's is in Shartlesville, which is exit 8 on I-78 east of Allentown. It's pretty good, I enjoyed breakfast more than dinner. The sausage was outstanding. I second eljo's rec on Mrs. Rowes, don't know why it escaped me before. Exit 222 east in VA. Have never been to Ridgewood, but friends whose judgement I trust like it. I believe it's actually located in Elizabethton, about 10 mile east of Johnson City. I don't know if it's worthy of a somewhat lengthly detour from I-81, depends on your trip pace. The spot in Chilhowie sounds great. I will definately hit it the next time I'm down there. Doug

Sorry, no good 'cue that I'm aware of. However, the Southern Kitchen in New Market, VA (exit 264) has killer fried chicken. Veggies are so, so, but the chicken is top notch. I'm not a peanut soup fan, but folks tell me their's is a respectable version. If you're a grease stain fan, Jess's Lunch in Harrisonburg (exit 247 -east, about two blocks up on the left) has a good chili dog. I usually get 4 when I'm there. Doug, Luray, VA

I think Old Ebbitt is tops, regardless of price. $25 for the platter is a steal!! Sara, I have fond memories of Swann from my years there in mid 80's. Doug

option 1 - some type of spicy mustard, slice of vidalia, plenty of dill pickle chips option 2 - dukes mayo, iceberg, slice of vidalia, tomato note: option 2 only when homegrown tomato is available both options - toasted or grilled bun ketchup is for fries! doug
