But the pot roast style on a bun is just weird, gooey, sloppy and gross.


What is wrong with you, commie?

I like fried shrimp, fried oysters, and fried softshell crab more than pot roast. That makes me a communist? It's the converse. Stewed beef is commie food. Something that you'd get in your bowl in the soup line in a communist country.

I guess you really despise Italian beef poboys done the Chicago way.


If the menu option is Chicago Beef sandwich and Fried Shrimp Po boy, I'm getting the Fried Shrimp Po Boy.

That makes me a communist?

Only if an oyster loaf isn't an option.

Get the surf and Turf poboy. Fried shrimp topped with roast beef. Or the Ferdi, ham topped with roast beef. I go back and forth between shrimp and beef as my favorite.
I like a good oyster too. But sometimes I really want a sloppy 6 napkin debris poboy.
I hate when it's pretty sliced deli meat.

Where does that happen. Haven't experienced it recently.

False.

DiMartinos has a good roast beef poboy on mufaletta roll.
Zara's has a completely sloppy and enjoyable po boy
Fayards in Ocean Springs has a nice compact and easy to eat in the car roast beef
Market by the Bay in Fairhope and Daphne has a absolute gut bomb pot roast poy boy. Really good, but feels like I ate an entire animal and don't need to eat for a few days. Use a fork for the top layer.

You don't need to sell me, I already don't like them.

Chicago Beef sandwich and Fried Shrimp Po boy

It depends on what you are hungry for.

When in Chicago get an Italian beef sandwich. They are like the very best French dip sandwich you will ever eat.

When in New Orleans go for the fried shrimp poboy. It just makes sense.

I agree with the poster who said some people try too hard and go way overboard making roast beef poboys as sloppy as possible. I had one like that at Acme Oyster House and was not the least bit impressed with it. Then again nothing at Acme Oyster House impresses me.

Felix's across the street is better, for oysters.

My wife and I can each get a roast beef po-boy and I can eat mine using 2 of those flimsy diner napkins and be done with it. My wife, on the other hand, needs a bath towel's worth.

When I order mine, I tell them no more gravy than what comes with the meat when trey load it in the bread.

If you look at the “meat” most places use, it’s kind of gross. It’s almost always some kind of processed meat log. I get why they do this, it’s not economically viable to make roast beef or roasted turkey from actual primary cuts at scale. But I just can’t bring myself to eat that stuff.

Then buy good cuts of beef to cook and make your own at home. Cook the roast to medium rare, refrigerate it overnight, thin slice it and warm it up in a good homemade brown gravy for the win.

Either you are stupid or you have never had a good RB poboy.
