The wife and I enjoy the occasional oyster, shrimp poboy where we fry everything at home.

I am looking for recommendations on both store bought like at Rouses and bakery made poboy bread.

I travel a lot so I can pick up almost anywhere in South Louisiana or Gulf coast Miss.

Go and get the Bahn Mi bread from Dong Phuong in New Orleans East. They sell it by the loaf fairly cheap and to me, it absolutely crushes Leidenheimer for a po-boy.

I second a Vietnamese bakery. On the coast there is Le Bakery in Biloxi, very similar to Phuong's bread.

+1 to Dong Phuong, and Hi-Do on the Westbank.
LeJeune's Bakery in Jeanerette as well.

Dorignac's in Metairie makes a nice crisp French bread with a cottony tender soft inside. Binders is good too from the bakery.

Rouses ain't to bad. Heat it in the oven at 425 for 3-5 minutes and it makes all the difference in the world. I use the one that sold 4 to a pack in the plastic wrapper. Of course if Leidneheimer is avaialble I'll get that but you can't but that off a store shelve within 45 minutes.

Are there any decent places in Houston to get "good po-boy" bread like New Orleans style.

Gendusa is great. Don't know where to buy it retail though.

Pretty sure Binder is owned by Leidenheimer now.

Correction: It was Reising and Zip that were bought out by Leidenheimer, not Binder.

Zuppardo's bread is good, but it's not traditional New Orleans poboy bread. For one thing, it's got oil in it, and for another, it is wider in the middle tapering to the ends. Poboy bread was modified to be a uniform width so the sandwiches would all be the same.
