REGIONAL: CAJUN COUGAR BOUDIN PO’BOY Hilton University of Houston
Ingredients: French hoagie roll, ground pork, white rice, green onions, bell pepper, celery, onion, garlic, parsley, paprika, cayenne, black pepper, thyme, salt, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, picked red onions, mayonnaise, Creole mustard, ketchup, garlic, lemon juice or vinegar, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, capers, provolone or pepper jack, toasted butter “Born right here at Eric’s Restaurant, our Boudin Po’boy has become a legend among the University of Houston Athletics Department. Created after a late practice when players asked for something ‘that tastes like Louisiana but hits like Houston.’ Smoky Cajun boudin sausage, grilled to perfection, meets zesty remoulade, crisp lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and house-pickled onions on a toasted French roll. It’s bold, hearty, and full of Southern soul — the same spirit that drives every Cougar on and off the field. A campus classic. A game-day favorite. A bite of Cougar pride.”

Four of our associates crafted their unique sandwiches, and students sampled each one, casting their votes for their favorite. Chef Gene’s creation was a hit amongst the students. It didn’t take long for our supply of sandwiches to vanish. Once the votes were tallied, we are thrilled to announce that Chef Gene has won the student vote!”

It’s a campus favorite that captures the comfort of home and the bold taste of Mexico, all in one delicious bite.”
