Don't really care about your opinion. Times pic agrees with me. Yes, it's hard to find a good one in New Orleans. It might be easier in Metairie but I have more trouble in the city of Nola as opposed to the surrounding areas.

Manda offers a wet pack roast that has the drippings in the package we use that and a few other ingredients to make au jus. It certainly isn't gravy from a jar.

Are these the new orleans "poboys" that have that hard bread that cuts the roof of your mouth? If so, then no, i do not want new orleans style poboys. As a matter of fact, I don't want any food that proclaims "new orleans style". It all tastes like shite anyway. New orleans isn't a food style, it is a city. Creole, Cajun, are food styles.


You have absolutely no clue what the frick you are talking about. You obviously haven't lived in New Orleans if this is your assumption. Either that or it's an obvious troll.

Sounds half assed, and not something I'd want to pay someone for. But, I guess if you can find enough people who do, who am I to suggest you run the business differently.

There are a ton of people that don't like poboys on traditional new Orleans French bread. I talk to them everyday. I'm from Baton Rouge and grew up in my dads poboy shops, I think there is such a thing as Baton Rouge style poboys. They're a little different than New Orleans but still delicious.

Hell my wife grew up in Chalmette and worked at Wagners deli in the CBD, and she loves our roast beef poboys.

I would at don't knock it until you try it. I'll tell you what I'm gonna do though YA I'm gonna cool a few roasts myself and try it out. If I can make it work I will use them.

Big jake, you need to step up your game brah. Start buying roast on the bone. Chop it up and put it into a pan an let sit in oven for hours until it falls off the bone. Put back into until that shite turns into debris. Then you can make a real rb Poboy.

Like I told YA, don't knock it til you try it. We sell French Dips like flap jacks and get compliments on our roast beef poboy on a regular basis. I'm gonna cook a few roasts and see how it goes. We dont buy sliced meats I do that myself. I've eaten at most of the places that have been mentioned and know we have a quality product comparatively.

The difference in quality between New Orleans poboys and Baton Rouge poboys is FAR more pronounced when you're having a seafood poboy than with roast beef. I don't doubt that there are good roast beef poboys in BR- I've had several. I've yet to have a fried shrimp or oyster po boy on par, or even close to on par, with something you can get in NO

I love the way a poboy smells in New Orleans.

Ok man, you need to chill out with the self-pimping. I've had a few lunches at your place and you're food is just average Baton Rouge food. Your roast beef "gravy" is watery thin and your muffuletta is just a sandwich. No mortadella or mozzarella? Your baked macaroni tasted boxed and you cook the ever living shite out of your oysters. There's my review of your joint.



eta: Your wings are pretty good and the cheesy curly fries are probably the best thing on your menu.
