Scott, Louisiana, was named Boudin Capital of the World in 2012.
The designation was made by the Louisiana State Legislature on April 12, 2012. Scott is a city in Lafayette Parish, in the Acadiana region of southwestern Louisiana, where Cajun boudin is a major food tradition and commercial specialty.
The title reflects Scott’s prominence in producing and selling boudin, especially along the busy Interstate 10 corridor. The city promotes the sausage as part of its identity, and its motto includes “Boudin capital of the world.”
The title is sometimes confused with claims from nearby Louisiana towns. Jennings uses “Boudin Capital of the Universe,” while Broussard has made an even more extravagant “Intergalactic Boudin Capital of Positive Infinity” claim. Those playful rival designations do not change the 2012 answer: Scott is the town named Boudin Capital of the World.
