I shouldn't dignify you with a response, but I'm gonna answer your question.
In 1983 when my dad when my dad bought a small deli from one of the customers he sold meat to, the world was smaller. You couldn't outsource fresh bread from Nola everyday. He started using a local bakery that made French bread, not Nola style but a good product nonetheless. We'll after 5 years of hard work , and a little luck he had expanded to 3 stores, and all were doing very well. He had in a sense cornered the local market, with his own version of a New Orleans classic.
My wife is from down there and loves our food, I have friends and neighbors from Nola that come in and eat and never question what we do and love our poboys.
Until you come to my place and eat you need to keep your opinions to yourself though.

What's the name of the restaurant so I can swing by and have a bite next week on my lunch break?

What is unavailable to me outside of Louisiana besides seafood?
Well technically, that is available anywhere as well. I just remember growing up catching our own fish, shrimp, crabs and crawfish. That is available if you want.

I make my own Tasso, as well as I can get the best andouille shipped to me along with fresh filet. I know how to cook, and so I guess I wonder what I am lacking elsewhere? Knowledge?
You do realize that you aren't like most. Many places have no idea what tasso is or a good andouille sausage. These days you can get just about anything shipped, but nothing like going get it from the source the day you want it. I would never want to get boudin out of a box from FedEx, sorry.

Knowledge?
Just seems like you do not want to acknowledge the actual family and friend aspect of it. Not sure, maybe you have no one to cook with.

Of course, their own kind of food though. I am cajun so I want to be around that culture, not somewhere in Alabama

I did. Love visiting, but I've seen too much of the world to even consider making residence there.

I love poboys and have great opinions about them. And so far I haven't mentioned any on your place. All I asked was if you don't compare your sandwiches you sell to anything in NOLA why even call them poboys. That's all I asked.

I've heard good things, but ya'll are all the way over by the Galvez Y! The reason I haven't tried ya'll before is the place is just too far out of the way for me most of the time. I live near LSU, my parents' house is in St. Amant, and my job is near Highland at Airline. Just too far from any of them to make it convenient.
I'll make a special trip out there just for you one of these days.

If you're going from lsu to st Amant we can be on your way.

Good question.
Related: does anyone know any places in BR that use leidenheimer or reisling bread for their poboys? And is that what most places in Nola use?

Did you read the rest of my post before the last statement?

Pretty sure Randy Montalbano's(sp?) does. Personally, I don't care for it.

Theres a place in Gonzales that does, I know because the bread truck got there before them one day and propped some loaves up against their front door. Bread just chillin in a wax paper sack outside.

Good place. There was one on Jones Creek when I was a kid and I loved that place. I miss it. Where are you now?
