One of our only real non-Louisiana items, also the bracket’s Cinderella choice, goes up against arguably the state’s finest meat product.
Some say that boudin was under-seeded in the barbecue/grilling region, but it was also up against the entire expanse of the barbecue genre. Nonetheless, it has emerged triumphant. We may even have an all-boudin championship matchup, should the sausage and its deep-fried relative advance.
Sausage balls aren't that out there with the rest of this group. I mean it's still sausage-related, ground pork, seasoned, maybe smoked, mixed with cheese and seasonings and baked or fried into little nuggets of goodness.
