Best online purveyor of Turduckens-- advice needed.
My brother-in-law, as a lover of all things fowl, is determined to get one for Thanksgiving dinner. I haven't lived in Louisiana for years and I know much has changed since Katrina, so any recommendations for an online or phone-order Turducken purveyor is appreciated. We had one from CajunGrocer last year and it was OK, but I really didn't like the stuffing. I can't even imagine doing it myself-- my knife skills are not up to that level, sadly.

OK, I had written this off as being a weird fad - remember the turkey deep-fryer onslaught of '03? But now I've done some research, and even though it has John Madden as it's advocate, I'm officially intrigued. I too require first-hand turducken knowledge.
As far as an online resource, all roads seem to lead to Hebert's in Maurice, LA for the real deal. From a quick glance at the site, if stuffing was an issue, it seems like they'll customize - might be worth a call anyway.

Jeffrey Steingarten has a whole chapter on Turducken, including the places to get it, in one of his books. Can't remember which off-hand.

I checked it is "It must have been something I ate" pages 226 - 236.
