In South Louisiana, Boudreau & Thibodeau are the butt of dozens of Cajun jokes. In Houma, it's the name of a popular restaurant that cranks out local cuisine favorites like grilled oysters, crab burgers, roast beef po'boys and redfish court bouillon (slow cooked in a hot gravy). There's beignets (among other baked goods) for dessert!
