Why put something that makes New Orleans unique in another city? Have you ever had a Philly cheesesteak outside of Philly? Total shite.

Best Bakery will also sell you unbaked dough, so you can take it home and make fried bread dough. Which is not the same thing as a beignet, but is delicious nonetheless.

A local who needs a geography lesson.

Being a lifelong north Louisianian, i find it ironic that NOLA folks separate themselves from the rest of South LA.

completely different culture. Drive 10 miles in either direction out of the city and you are in a different world.

I was born and raised in New Orleans and I can say, beyond the shadow of a doubt, I'm better at partying than anyone in this thread. Especially the people from Chauvin and around Luling.

Still my favorite poboy bread to this day



Never tried their bread. Gonna have to make it a point to do so. Right now L&N is my favorite po-boy bread.

The reality is that crisp/thin crust, lofty to the point of empty insides, & the ability to go stale in milliseconds are qualities in a bread loaf that no one seems to want outside of NOLA


A bit dramatic. Fresh leidenheimer bread will last 2-3+ days easily if kept correctly. Most of the time the stuff at the store has been sitting on the shelf for a few days.

Aside: I think Leidenheimer's has descended into terrible. If I wanna make a poboy at home, I search out a Binder's loaf, which still has some structure & chew to it. The Leidenheimer loaf is now mostly air, with dough conditioners, & it tastes sadly industrial.)


I never had Binder's but I will have to check it out. Disagree with you on Leidenheimer's though. Not really sure what industrial is supposed to taste like.

I don't know anyone from New Orleans or the area that think they are Cajun. Unless they are originally from the Cajun areas.

Sounds like you are using isolated examples to prove a point.

Poboy express in baton rouge on perkins and seigen is garbage...


Not true, I have had excellent sandwiches at PE, but they are not poboys. A long soft bun is not poboy bread, period.

Not many regional specialties make it out of their home market under a franchise umbrella. If you think a soft bun can be a poboy, then Subway is a poboy franchise. A lot of places have fried seafood on a long bun, they just don't call them poboys.

You say that, but experience has proven otherwise. If you can't get freah Leidenheimer or Pouparts, it just doesn't work. Perfect french bread isn't easy to make.

Sounds like some yankee a-hole that moved here 3 years ago and now thinks he's a native.

The climate from Baton Rouge to New Orleans is the same. Pretending that New Orleans operates in some climatic vacuum is absurd.
