LOCAL BUSINESSES 

We are proud to announce that within the community of Hungarian Settlement, there are two businesses that offer a bit of Hungarian culture to the public. Louis Bartus Hungarian Sausages and Pastries is located on Strawberry Lane, just off of La. Highway 43 in Hungarian Settlement. Louis makes two main types of sausage. One is a rice sausage called "hurka," which is similar to Cajun boudin. The other is a pork sausage called "kolbasz."  Upon request, Louis will make kolbasz with half turkey. He also makes available a smoked version of  kolbasz. Louis's wife, Pauline,  makes Hungarian pastries, called "kifli" and "kalacs" when customers place orders for them. Louis states that the primary motivation behind this business venture was his love of Hungarian culture and his desire to share it with others.
Louis Bartus Hungarian Sausages and Pastries is opened for business on Saturdays from 8-5 or upon request if Louis is available. For more information call 225-567-3178.
