Lafayette’s Charley’s G Seafood Grill, issued the following statement on their Facebook page immediately following the passing of Chef Carol Boudreaux, a beloved 35 year employee at popular seafood eatery located on Ambassador Caffery Parkway.
Affectionately referred to as “Pops,” Chef Boudreaux was an Acadian community icon who made the phrase “gumbo king” popular in the Lafayette area. Boudreaux died Thursday of respiratory failure.
For 35 years Chef Boudreaux made 40 gallons of his famous “chicken and andouille gumbo” each week for Charley G’s.
“It is with a very heavy heart that we announce the passing of Chef Carol “Pop” Boudreaux. A culinary icon in Lafayette. His passion for creole cuisine, work ethic and dependability inspired the young chefs in our kitchen today. He has been a part of our family for over 35 years, he will be sadly missed and never replaced. Prayers go out to his loved ones!”
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family at this difficult time.
