Boudin is DAMN delicious when it's done well. It really is more of an Acadiana (south-central Louisiana--centering on Lafayette, La.) thing. There are a couple possibles in New Orleans, but the best is from around Lafayette and Scott, Louisiana.

Gumbo, it would depend upon which part of town you end up in and which day of the week. Place around the corner from my own house has a really good gumbo, but they're closed on Sundays. In Slidell, I am pretty certain that Southside has great gumbo, I've had it. Every place does it a stitch differently, so it's a fun pursuit.
