Scott, United States

Best Stop started in 1986 in Scott, Louisiana, a town of 8,000 that sits on the I-10 corridor between Lafayette and Baton Rouge. The store makes boudin in-house every morning, stuffing rice-and-pork filling into natural casings before sunrise. Locals line up at the drive-through window for links sold hot off the stuffer. Their cracklins draw equal crowds. Multiple locations now dot Acadiana, but the Scott original remains the benchmark.
