One merchandise that you can see on nearly each menu in New Orleans is the a lot celebrated po boy. Principally a NOLA model of a sub, most variations down South come served “dressed” – which means topped with lettuce, tomato and mayo with elective pickles and sizzling sauce – on a Leidenheimer’s roll, which is a crusty but ethereal model of French bread that you simply mainly gained’t discover up right here at any restaurant – however in the event you do, please let me know the place!
You will see that all types of proteins accessible as potential stars of the present on any given po boy, from roast beef smothered in gravy to sausage, fried alligator and all factors in between.
However maybe probably the most beloved of all po boys characteristic fried seafood. The most effective spots to seize them in New Orleans are at any of the quite a few po boy retailers across the metropolis, equivalent to Johnny’s Po Boys, Domilise’s, Mahoney’s or Verti Mart, the latter of which is open 24 hours and produces a shrimp po boy which will have been the very best factor I ate on the entire journey.
Mudhen Brewing Firm in Wildwood presents both fried shrimp or fried oyster types of po boy, with every coming dressed with cabbage slaw, shredded lettuce, roasted tomato, shaved purple onion, tartar, cocktail and Cajun crema served on ciabatta bread.
No, it’s not precisely like those you’ll discover in New Orleans (I’ve by no means seen cabbage slaw or roasted tomato on a po boy down there, however that doesn’t imply it’s not scrumptious).
