We are entering the era of comfort foods and soups. But I had to try one more dish that has been on my list all summer long: the Boudin Ball.

If you have not been on social media, this is a teen’s dream!

Beef, rice and cheese are rolled into a meatball, coated with Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, and deep fried.

Who thinks of this?

Apparently, Jovonte Byrd.

“My focus is to bring the food that we love (on social media) to life, with a twist,” Byrd said.

Now, I’ve written about how his meatloaf had me in a chokehold. You can’t find meatloaf around here.

But this was different.

Three big balls of perfectly coated meat, rice and cheese.

The Hot Cheetos added the perfect layer of heat. And there was a side of cheese for dipping.

This has been on my timeline and TikTok this entire year! I have been waiting on someone locally to do it. Grab-n-Trap did it. Thanks to Byrd, who has a gift for creating cuisines.
