Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in the Greater Los Angeles Area (including Orange & Ventura Counties and SW San Bernardino County)
Start New Threadany suggestions for a good po' boy sandwich? i think i've become disenchanted with the mediocre offering from the Gumbo Pot at the Farmers Market/Grove, and i'm looking to try a different place. especially interested in any suggestions located on the Northeast side of town.
Thanks in advance fellow Chowhounders.

I have heard there are some places in Pasadena. Try a search. I usually go to Uncle Darrows when I am on that side of town. Good Luck!

If you're ever in the SFV--my friend enjoys the oyster po boy at Les Sisters on Devonshire.

Not the Northwest side, but Bay Cities deli's Poor Boy is every bit as good as the Godmother.

Hands down - Creole Chef. Only place I've found that comes close to anything from Nawlins.

It has been closed since about March and were looking for a new place to open. Have they found one?

I disagree with most of the mentions- Uncle Darrow's is just OK to me, it's my last choice for Creole/Cajun in LA. Last I head, Creole Chef in Baldwin Hills has closed its doors due to a robbery. And I think everything else on the Ragin Cajun menu is better than their po boys. I would go to La Louisanne on Slauson & Overhill, or Harold and Belle's on Jefferson for great po boys. But both of those are sit down restaurants, I believe take-out is available. For take-away, I go to Bayou Grill on La Brea for po boys, but I don't care for their gumbo. The fried seafood po boys are very good.

I was just mentioning Uncle Darrows for the po boys. Places that are not currently open do not count! What ever happened to 5c's, I know they moved to the IE has anyone been since they moved?
