The Daily Press, a Monroe lunch spot brief review

Much like New York and Paris, Monroe likes to stay on the forefront of the ever changing culinary scene. And keeping with the current theme of converting failed gas stations into Haute dining destinations, The Mecca has rolled out its own version. The Daily Press is located in the old Chevron station at the corner of Forsythe extension and US HWY 165. Next to the failed Albersons. This joint here:
Today was my first chance to check out this establishment. The Daily Press specializes in "Pressed Poboys", Soups and Salads. I went with the whole (cause that's how I roll) Pressed Cajun Turkey Poboy. It was excellent. Turkey, nay, CAJUN turkey and cheese fully dressed on pressed white bread. I'm not exactly sure what separates the Pressed Poboy from the Toasted Sub, and I really don't care. Cause this sandwich rocks:
Hand View:
The Daily Press also offers a Soup De jour. Soup De Jour is apparently Spanish for Tomater and Basil soup, which is one of my favorites. I had that:
Man it was great. I myself am well versed in making this soup and consider myself something of an aficionado. The Daily Press nails it.

If you ever find yourself in North Monroe around lunch time, don't be a moran and pull into the Smitty's Philly Grease steak place. Ease up the road a piece and wrap your self in gas(pun intended)tronomic bliss at the Daily Press.

Are you trying to get hired on as the News Star's food critic? They'd prolly pay you $80 per article.

Nah, just dicking off while little balls is at the ULM baseball camp.Posted on 6/13/13 at 2:09 pm to LSUballs
Mrs Otis likes the joint, as does the Runt. Glad it got your seal of approval, Mr. Balls.

At first it didn't. I hated the sumbitch. Mainly cause I whipped in there one morning hungover and late for a golf tourney hoping for some BC powder, Gatorade, and a can of Copenhagen. I cursed it for converting into a haute food place. Boy was I wrong!

Negative ghost rider. Nothing in that building has ever been worth a shite. I doubt some catch all Azn fusion joint is going to buck that trend. I think next I'm going to the seafood joint by Danken Trail.

Do the pumps still work? That adds charm.

The pumps don't work cause the vandals took the handle.

I giggled at my boy balls' review. But this literally made me laugh out loud.

On my way to the camp for a fish fry, I shite myself in the hush puppy section of that store around 1998. Unbeknownst to me at the time, the restrooms were at the very front of the store. I had to wade through half of the Monroe Junior League to get to the Men's room to collect myself. This was before people had personal cellies, grant you. My wingman left me in there for well over 30 minutes and I had to take a sink bath to fully recover. An 80 year old fella opened the door when I was making my last pass across my tainted buttocks and simply stated, "I will come back later, Sonny."
I never returned to that store after this traumatic experience.

What a sorry sumbitch. He could have at least gotten you some fruit of the looms from the small Albertson's clothing section and brought them to you, and some baby wipes.
