Actually Tom Fitzmorris would tell you you all are wrong (with Gris Gris the exception) because it is not a po boy it is a "poor boy"
More and more BR places are getting Zips, Reislings and Leidenheimer (all of which are owned by Leidenheimer) bread. It can be found at Calandro's, Ralphs, Matherines etc...
Yes a poor boy should be made with NO bread.
Did I see any of you at PF Changs or Olive Garden?

Used to call them poor boys when I was little. Havent heard many people refer to them as that in a long time.

New Orleans Po'boys on Coursey has good sandwiches, they just don't have any po'boys. Their patty melt is good as is their version of a Philly cheesesteak, not sure how authentic it is.
Their name is very misleading, when I 1st moved here 20 years ago it was one of my 1st stops, boy was I pissed. I learned to go to Pocorello's for the good bread, just don't get a RB there, he uses Manda's.

Go eat a Jazz Daddy "sandwich on a torpedo shaped bread"
Good stuff.
Good stuff.

BTW I should add that I have eaten at alot of these places and some of them have very good sandwiches which I would order again. I just take exception to them calling them a NO Po-Boy.

Calvin's also carries Poupart's bread from Lafayette, which is very good.

How about saying "So and so has some of the softest french bread I have eaten."
Instead of getting into this bullcrap about what isn't or isn't a po'boy?
My God, I know you defensive Po'Boy snobs have had legit bread that varies in its toughness and the hardness in its crust. You can just advise him on an authentic bread that is a little softer than the others instead of being aholes.

I was born in B.R. but have lived in N.O. for the past 20 years. I used to call any sandwich that was on long bread a poboy. About 5 years after I got to N.O., I came to see the light.
Poboy bread is a different bread all together. Not all french breads are poboy bread. If the bread is soft on the outside, it's probably not even french bread, but Italian bread, or other such bread.
They may make for a good sandwich, but I no longer call those poboys.
You guys need to come on down to Oak Street in Carrollton for the 3rd annual Poboy Festival. The second annual just passed two months ago. Look for it in early December.

Anyone know of a softer new orleans style french bread? Just seems by definition it has a crispy crust that produced alot of crumbs with soft interior. They all seem about the same on the outside.

There can be a decent amount of variance on "toughness" though, which is what he seemed to mean by wanting it to be soft. (Freshness would be a factor here, obviously.) I don't keep track of what breads places use though, so I would be a piss poor expert at giving him a suggestion.

Glad to see the po' boy nazis are back in full force. We haven't seen this discussion in nearly a month.

I thought I was a communist, now I'm a Nazi? I was just following orders.

Man you must go way back to remember Big Harold's...I grew up in Hammond and that place was great..I actually knew both families that owned it pretty well...the original family sold it to another family friend (screwed the new owners pretty bad from what I hear..don't know specifics though)...went down the crapper because they couldn't sell enough po-boys or crawl out from the debt they got shafted on...shoulda advertised to the college kids better in my opinion...it was a only a stone's throw from SLU's campus.

Big Harold's was awesome. I tried it a few times with the new owners and it was just not the same. I could divide one of his sandwich's into 3 meals and still have some leftover.

All you poboy/sandwich/hoagie/bun haters.
I found a good one at Montelbano's (spelling) on Florida Blvd around Belaire. Just thought I would spread the word.

Hey, I'm from Pittsburgh, and the only place down here that I've seen serve REAL hoagies is Fox's Pizza Den... their base is in Pittsburgh, by the way. Calling the things these places serve "hoagies" is just as bad an insult as calling them "poboys".

I have family from Philadephia and my dad made hoagies all my life growing up.
We also have Habbersett Scrapple flown in during the winter. Good eats my friend.
