Top 5 PoBoys

[MidCityGumbo]

We played this game last night (while sitting at Liuzza's by the track). Pick your top 5 poboys in the city; must name both the location and the sandwich.

Here were mine:

5- Debris PoBoys at Mother's
4- BBQ Shrimp PoBoy at Liuzza's BTT
3- Softshell Crab PoBoy at JazzFest
2- Peacemaker at Mahoney's
1- Thanksgiving PoBoy at Parkway Bakery

Runners up:
-Fried Green Tomato/Remoulade @ Crabby Jack's-
-All That Jazz @ Verti Marte
-Shrimp @ Mabile's (LaPlace)

Have Fun!

[CharlieH]

I like the Galley a lot for anything fried.

5 - All That Jazz PoBoy @ VertiMarte
4 - Garlic Oyster PoBoy @ Liuzza's BTT
3 - Meatball PoBoy @ Mahoney's
2 - Thanksgiving PoBoy @ Parkway
1 - Cochon de Lait PoBoy @ Walkers/JazzFest

[Soco]

Fried shrimp philly at Verti Marte - this is by far the pick of the litter
Shrimp and fried green tomatoes at Mahoney's - awesome sando
King-sized oyster at Crabby Jack's - wins on quantity - batter could be better, but size wins
Straight-up shrimp at Sammy's on vets - best overall shrimp poboy around
Roast beef @ Tracey's - this one to me is a nod to the classics, is the definitive RB

P.S. - Domilise's is overrated due to the 'been there forever' logic of our city - for whatever reason, the more brokedown and junked out a place looks the more people love it.

Diamond in the rough mentality to the extreme...

Is Charlie's a new poboy place we should try this weekend instead of Parkway?

[Bill Hunt]

Charlie's is an old Harahan/River Ridge restaurant/bar. It was recently acquired by Chef Frank Brigtsen, of Brigtsen's fame. Have not been yet, but family says that it's great, and they dine often at Brigtsen's, plus knew the old Charlie's.

Hope that helps,

OK, I'll play along.

#1 Shrimp po-boy Marquez Brother at the Chef Pass
#2 RB po-boy w/ swiss and my hidden stash of hot mustard and gravy w/ debris at Frank's Deli, when Frank's M-I-L was still alive.
#3 RB po-boy at Acy's Poolhall
#4 Shrimp po-boy at the old Charlie's Seafood, Jefferson Hwy, pre Brigtsen's days (have not been to the new version)
#5 RB po-boy at Parkway Bakery w/ swiss and gravy (no hidden stash of hot mustard)*

* Unfortunately, all but the last are no longer available, though Chef Brigtsen might have a good version at the new Charlie's?

I've got to send one up for the Dog River Po Boy at Wintzell's Oyster House - fried chicken tenders dipped in Buffalo sauce smothered with cheddar, lettuce, tomato and onions and topped with bleu cheese dressing.

[roro1831]

Is that a place in New Orleans?

[BayouTeche]

Wintzell's is in Mobile.....two states over. Not exactly the New Orleans Metropolitan Area.

[sanglier]

A Metairie shout-out for Gio's on West Napoleon! Their meatball, roast beef and Italian sausage po-boys are first-rate and worthy of your patronage. And they warm the sandwich in the oven after it's assembled, a lost touch around town.

[edible complex]

sounds a bit like an R&O Italian combo.

[briox]

Oh, I can't believe no one's mentioned the oyster poboy at Domilice's, yummy!

[roro1831]

5) French Fry poboy Crabby Jack's
4) Surf and turf poboy at Parkway, shrimp and roast beef
3) Couchon de Lait poboy Jazz fest
2) R&O Special R&O's
1) Roast Beef poboy from R&O's

Almost made the list:
Pork chop poboy at Guys

[JazzyB]

#1 best po boy, Bozo's oyster w/butter pickles, crystal.

What is the Thanksgiving Poboy? Is it a combination of Turkey and ham?

[FoodChic]

I was also intrigued by the Thanksgiving Po-Boy, so I did a search online to find out what I could . See the link below that had me in tears!

Holy cow! How could I have forgotten...

the cochon de lait PoBoy at Walker's? It's doubly delicious because it's elusive -- served at Jazz Fest or when Walker's happens to be open.

Banh Mi - known as the "Vietnamese PoBoy" served at Hong Kong Market on the West Bank. Also available at Pho Tau Bay and most likely other various Vietnamese locales.
