Just today I noticed 2 in Metairie. Both used to be poboy joints but are now a higher level Italian place.

Fausto's Bistro
Giorlando's

There's also the places that started as neighborhood mini-groceries that became more. 2 that come to mind are Shortstop and Guillory's.

Wasn't Billy's a little podunk place at one time?

I've only been visiting Fausto's for about five years now. How long ago were they a poboy place?

No, in Metairie.

I'm not sure the exact time frame for the transition from a poboy shop, but I've been going there at least 40 years.
