My review of Johnny's Poboys, Parkway, and LEBANON'S !

Went to Parkway Bakery and Tavern Sat afternoon, it was a cool place... great environment, hard working people, and the roast beef poboy was awesome.... it was just a big mess of goodness...and the bread pudding was a nice treat too ....obviously no where in BR can you get one this good (pastimes?) ....

We were going to go to Johnny's poboys sat night, but found out it was closed ...so, I let my buddy who lives uptown decide... we went by whole foods and picked up a couple of bottles of wine and went to a nice little place by camalia grill, called Lebanon's .... WOW ...by far the best meal of the weekend ... I guess I've only had Lebanese food in Baton Rouge because it was SO different at Lebanons... The gyro was not sliced, fatty shavings like at arzi's etc ... it was shaped almost like a BIG french fry ... way better flavor than any gyro I'd have ever had, and not greasy .... the grapeleaves were unreal, so tender and flavorful and the leaves could easily be cut with a fork, I could have had a whole plate of those.... hummus wasn't as thick and chickey as I was used to, but I enjoyed it.... it had some nice little lemoney/chile touch to it or something ....it was also nice to pound 2 bottles of wine and not have a big bill too :) (no cork fee either)

Before we split town today, we hit up Johnny's poboys.... I got the shrimp poboy to see if could compete with the likes of R&O's, etc ... it was fine, it was pretty much just your run of the mill NOLA shrimp poboy on Leidenheimer ... I like fresher tasting, larger shrimp...and these were just averaged sized shrimp that were probably frozen...... but it was still real good ...somebody in front of me ordered the seafood muff and that looked like an absolute winner...

next trip down going to try to hit port of call, ye olde college inn, and ????
