Best roast beef po-boy

1. Parkway Bakery & Tavern (538 Hagan Ave., 504-482-3047; www.parkwaypoorboys.com; @ParkwayPoorboys) — People say New Orleanians judge po-boys by the number of napkins needed, so it's no surprise that Parkway's roast beef is consistently ranked No. 1. The garlicky gravy soaks through the bread, dripping down your arms and leaving diners to choose between licking their fingers — a lot — or excessive napkin usage.




Best local radio host

1. John "Spud" McConnell — The host of Talk Gumbo (and star of local commercials) keeps the talk going every weekday afternoon on WWL-AM.

2. Garland Robinette

3. Teapot and Stevie G

A list of best coffee joints without Mojo, Velvet, Merchant or Rue De La Course is an embarrassment.

damn even the voters of this list aren't aware of the abundance of culture in NOLA.

Best kid-friendly restaurant

1. Chuck E. Cheese (124 North Shore Blvd., Slidell, 985-641-4878; 3701 Gen. De Gaulle Drive, 504-367-1214; 7000 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, 504-454-5959; www.chuckecheese.com; @chuckecheese) — There's a reason kids love Chuck E. Cheese — and it's not because of the pizza. It's the arcade of games or a host of skill levels, climbing structures and rides. It's won this category four years in a row; we suspect voters are thinking more of about their mealtime comfort (re: sans kids) than where children can get a balanced meal.

I've always wondered what percentage of answers/votes involve someone naming a place they've just heard of and haven't actually even been to.

Metry Restaurants

Dragos
Andreas
Cafe B

WTF? Dragos besides their oyster and lobster is mediocre at best, Andreas is gross, and never been to Cafe B.

What about Cypress, Vincents, Mr. Eds is ok, but simple, or New Orleans Food and Spirits?

Looks about like the old Tiger Weekly best of Baton Rouge dining. Editors of Gambit are probably equally as qualified as those frickheads to put out such a list.

Bulldog > Avenue Pub?


Fine with me if it means the cretins stick to Bulldog and leave Ave Pub to us

Garlicky gravy my arse. That last sentence is complete fiction.
