On The Road With RL Reeves Jr: T-Boy’s Slaughterhouse in Mamou
An electrified Cajun band riding on a trailer pulled behind a Dodge truck brings up the rear of the team.
They’re sawing out an old DL Menard song as a few people begin dancing in the dirt parking lot where we’re all standing.
Welcome to Evangeline Parish.

T-Boy Berzas In Evangeline Parish Louisiana
T-Boy Berzas and his wife Laurie opened their business 22 years ago in 1995. Young T-Boy was already a seasoned hand on the meat saw, and grinder/extruder so when he saw an opportunity to become his own boss he seized it.

T-Boy Berzas On Top Of His Business
On a recent visit T-Boy met me in the parking lot and shepherded me out back to the slaughterhouse where a few hogs were warily circling about in their pens while a brace of young lambs craned their necks inquisitively.
They were not long for this world.

Last Fall I picked up a whole, freshly-killed 50lb shoat but I’m traveling light on this run and don’t have enough cooler space for a young hog.
On request one of T-Boy’s workers will grab a steaming link of boudin out of a countertop crockpot and snip it into bits for you before carefully wrapping it and passing it across the counter.
Buy an ice cold Miller Lite from the cooler and take your meal just outside the door in the parking lot. Berzas’ rich, hot boudin, taken out of doors, is one of Louisiana’s great eating experiences.
