Friend,

Friend,

10. Napoleon House - the only heated muffuletta in the top 10.
9. Martin's Deli & Bistro
8. Come Back Inn (request cold)
7. Lovecchio's (long trip to Norco, but it's the best sandwich within 20 miles)
6. Frank's (not the original, but is delicious)
5. World Deli (request cold)
4. Nor Joe's (good, but isn't as great as most Old Metairites say)
3. Gendusa's (request cold)
2. DiMartino's (delivered by family)
1. Central Grocery (the ones being made under that name are not nearly as good as the ones from the actual grocery which is soon to open)

Yours,
TulaneLSU

There’s no real secret to a good muffuletta. Get Central Grocery olive mix, a loaf from Gendusa’s Bakery, which were $2 each, and good deli meats. Let them sit together for a few hours and serve at room temperature. I would not put R&O’s roast beef poorboy in my top ten nor its muffuletta anywhere near my top ten. Decent fried seafood and good shrimp salad, though.

Don’t sleep on mother’s muff and her ability to toss salad.

You should be banned as your vainglorious posts are getting worse with each food reply.

DiMartino’s is heated - or do you ask them not to?

Friend, Frank and Phil Gagliano do a very good job on all of their po-boys and are a worthy contributor to the muffaletta scene. However, the Tusas are the undisputed makers of the sandwich....after all, they invented it

Friend,

It's ashame you are to scared to visit the French Market these days. Latoya's New Orleans is a frightful place. I fear that Mother may be weary of the Decatur vagrants.

Alas, Alberto's in the French Market is excellent and is deserving of the #2 ranking only after a pre-Ida Central Grocery. Thus, it is de facto the current number...eclipsing Nor Joes, which is a far more convenient option for me, as a lifelong resident of beautiful Old Metairie.

One of my companies can provide you and mother black car SUV service if you fear the crime of Lower Decatur, which you so often opine about...

When people ask if you are trolling or not on this board all they have to do is look at this statement to figure it out.

Actually I believe the CG bun is custom made by Lidenheimers.

They are still really good, I bought one Saturday and had it for lunch on Saturday and Sunday.
