Houston Po-Boy bread

Before I discovered that almost any Viet place that serves Bahn Mi will sell you some bread, I've purchased some pretty good French bread from The Boot in The Heights. They're not in the bread business so they don't give it away but they will sell you a loaf that they claim is Leidenheimer, wrapped in cellophane and shipped every few days. If it isn't Leidenheimer, it's definitely passable. In the end though, I'd argue that the Viet French Bread is better, cheaper, and more readily available than anything else you'll find in Houston for a po-boy...
