Not in NOLA - but just down the road, Mabiles on Airline in Laplace. Drive over for the Roast Beef and Swiss dressed, bring your wife and get her a Shrimp on Bun, then load up on the besty smoked sausage, andouille and hot hoghead cheese at the yellow Andouille shop on Airline across from Home Depot.

You won't regret it.

I feel like it's impossible to beat. They are head and shoulders above the competition.

Shaved? By far Russell's Short Stop Po-Boys.

Bear's is the best IMO.. But be prepared to pay for it... A RB Po-Boy and Iced Tea is about $25 including tip. R&O is damn good and can be had for $20 including tip (po-boy and drink).

Are you talking about a debris poboy? What is this shaved nonsense?

Delicious but they are stingy with the amount of meat. It feels more like a submarine on French bread than a poboy.

How does one make this style of roast beef poboy?

Really underrated.

I got One at Jazz Fest and liked it enough to hit up the WB location. Very good.

I steal of cooking the RB down to debris, you cook it, slice it and then usually let it cook in the gravy for a while.

Parenton's in Metairie is solid. Central Poboy is a stone's throw from there and isn't too bad, either - though I'm not sure if Central's is sliced or shredded.

Short Stop in Metairie for sure.
Fabulous and a regular size dressed is only $9.
What a deal!

My guess is that they chill the cooked meat prior to slicing. Then they place the thin sliced chilled meat in the au jus style gravy and cook a bit more to heat it through. I feel like that's the only way they can get it so thin.

I'm not a fan of Shortstop, but plenty of people swear by it. It's a bit underseasoned and shredded, not thin sliced.
