Hebert's Specialty Meats
The Creators of the Original Turducken
The town? Maurice, Louisiana, just south of Lafayette. The year? 1984. After a day of hunting, a local resident enters Hebert’s (pronounced “ay-bears”) with his catch of the day: a turkey, a duck and a chicken. He asks the butchers to debone each bird and, in a stroke of madness, for them to be stuffed inside each other. And thus, this now-infamous multi-poultry mashup was born.
But Hebert’s is no one trick pony. They’re also turning out all those legendary Cajun classics, like crawfish pie, shrimp etouffee, gumbo, boudin, stuffed catfish, red beans, and whole deboned stuffed chicken, all based on old family recipes and made with the highest-quality Louisiana ingredients. If you’re looking for a true taste of Cajun Country, look no further than Hebert’s.
