Po Boy advice

go to new orleans poboy on sherwood and coursey.. other side of street from calenders.

If it is on soft bread it is not a poboy, it's a hoagie. A Reuben is served on rye bread, a muffaletta is served on muffaletta bread and a poboy is served on poboy bread. Poboy bread has a crust.

There is nothing wrong with hoagies, but they are not a poboy.

I have never heard anyone call it a Hoagie in this area, but either way.... Where do I get a good hoagie?

That was all there was in Baton Rouge when I lived there. It shouldn't be hard to find, and it's definitely not a poboy.

Sandwich on soft french bread should be called a po-boy in LA...sandwich on a soft hoagie roll in PA should be called a hoagie.

I think its more of a regional thing than a matter of a definition.

Soft French bread??? How about some fat-free cream, would you like some krab meat, I know a guy who will sell you a genuine Rolecks watch.

The shape of the roll does not determine its name, "soft French bread" is just an oblong shaped bun, French bread or poboy bread has a crust and different crumb. I bake my own bread, it is a different process.

I love living in Baton Rouge, it has many pluses, what it allows people to call poboy bread or French bread is one of the minuses.

Anyone who thinks a po-boy on soft bread is not a po-boy is a communist

Oh yeah, i forgot that people in New Orleans know more about food than anyone in the world and if you try to say any different you will be called a communist

New Orleans is more of a food culture than Baton Rouge. Picture all the time we spend talking about LSU sports in BR, in New Orleans that time is spent talking about food. This is not a bad thing, food and LSU sports are my 2 favorite things in the world.

Different cities have different cultures, go to a gathering in Jackson, MS, you will quickly notice that the conversations are mostly about church. That doesn't mean people in BR don't like their churches.

Baton Rouge should not try to compare itself to NO for food, NO is a world class food city. No more than Tulane should try to compare itself to LSU in sports.

Do you think it's a poboy if you put some roast beef on wheat pita? How about over rice? Soft french bread is not french bread and a sandwich made on it is not a poboy.
