Mr. Chimetime Finally Tries Boudin in Lafayette For the First Time in His Life

Mr. Chimetime’s Acadiana food tour continues to gain momentum, and this time he checked off a major Louisiana rite of passage: his first-ever taste of boudin.

The viral food influencer made a stop at Guidroz Food Center, located at 1301 E. Simcoe St. in Lafayette, a neighborhood favorite that might not be on every tourist’s radar but is beloved by locals who know where authentic flavor lies.

Instead of starting with one of the “Four Horsemen” of Acadiana boudin (Best Stop, Billy’s, Don’s, or Kartchner’s), Mr. Chimetime took the IYKYK approach, and it paid off.

A Flavor He's Been Looking for Since May

Chimetime has been searching for this level of spice and seasoning since May 12, when he first started touring Louisiana by way of New Orleans in hopes of finding next-level flavor.

“The seasoning on this boudin? Crazy.”

“This spicy link almost sent me into orbit.”

And he didn’t stop at the boudin; he also grabbed some cracklins, which he said had the perfect crunch-to-fat ratio. This, as any South Louisiana native will tell you, is a sacred balance.

Barely Scratching the Surface of 337 Flavor

What’s wild is that Chimetime is already this impressed, and he hasn’t even hit many of the region’s most iconic spots yet.

Rumors are swirling that he’s made stops at Telly’s on Moss Street, Parc de Oaks, and even the legendary Laura’s II, though no official videos have dropped from those visits just yet.

Meanwhile, New Orleans commenters continue defending their food scene in the replies to every video, claiming he “just didn’t go to the right places.” But in the court of public opinion, the 337 is stacking win after win.

Could Chimetime Be the Voice That Settles the Debate?

Acadiana locals have long claimed that the best Louisiana flavor isn’t in New Orleans, it’s right here in Cajun Country. Now, someone with no local bias and no passes to hand out might finally be proving that to the rest of the world.

And he’s not done yet.

With more videos still to come, and only a few plates in, Mr. Chimetime might be the most recent one to put Acadiana’s food scene on the national map, one spicy bite at a time.

Stay tuned.
