1.) Domilese's fried shrimp with roast beef gravy and melted cheese.

2.) Pascal's Manale's BBQ shrimp po boy (could easily be Liuzza's by the Track's BBQ shrimp).

3.) Parkway Bakery's Roast Beef po boy (could easily be Parasol's or Radosta's roast beef)

4.) Bozo's Oyster po boy (could easily be Drago's oyster po boy).

5.) Liuzza's Frenchaletta.


Thoughts? Your top 5 po boys?

i guess i just don't get it. I have had all of these except Bozo's, and i have never craved a single one of them.

I prefer a good muff over a po-boy any day of the week.

and what would a "large" one of those at Domilise's run you? about $15 for a puny large, a la carte?

Central Grocery has the best sandwich in NOLA...no doubt in my mind.

No love for the Frenchaletta at Liuzza's on Bienville?

nah, i don't like it with the french bread nearly as much. Not saying it's bad, it's still good....just not my thing apparently.

The french bread doesn't hold up to the olive salad and olive oil, nearly as well as the much denser italian muffeletta loaf does.

right...and a good muff needs to be premade to soak, and french bread just doesn't work very well. I don't want a muff made to order.

R&O meatball makes my list. My cravings stem from the fact that it is food I've grown up eating my entire life.

I agree...still a good sandwich though.

Central is the best sandwich of any kind I have ever had...but I do have huge sentimental attachment to it.

Nope...none.

Its my number one since I was a kid, and everyone who I have ever taken there to meet Ms. Dot and eat has loved it (probably 50-60 people).

i think my childhood favorite vanished in the early-mid 90's. John White special from Nooley's in BR.

I am still amazed that nobosy has opened up a little muffaletta shop in north jersey or NYC. The ingredients are readily available, and the flavor palate of the local population suggests that it would be a huge hit.

I should tell my italian chef friend who just moved up there that that would be a good business proposition. Do you think it could compete with the deli competition though?

No shite! There is some money to be made on that one.

Made properly a muff blows any other Italian sandwich out of the water...I have had some good ones too. JMO though.

I'm just saying that there is already stiff competition in that sector of the food industry in nyc, and I was just curious if he thought it could survive against mainstays. The same question could be asked of a NY pizzeria coming down here and opening.

the place that used to be next door to Central Grocery was better than Central Grocery.


Now what was the name of the place ?
