Top 10 PoBoys in NOLA



In honor of this weekend's Po Boy Fest , here is the much anticipated Top 10 list of New Orleans-area po boys by a self-described po boy professional (me). This report has taken years of diligent research to produce. I hope you find it useful.

Mae$e Top 10 Po Boys

1.) Domilises Oyster Po Boy - New Orleans
2.) Cafe Minh Char Grills Pork Po Boy - New Orleans
3.) Parkway Bakery & Tavern Roast Beef (or Corn Beef) Po Boy - New Orleans
4.) Mahony's Fried (or Grilled) Shrimp Po Boy - New Orleans
5.) Vaucresson Creole Hot Sausage Po Boy
6.) R&O Shrimp or Italian Roast Beef Po Boy - Bucktown
7.) Crabby Jacks Paneed Rabbit Po Boy - Jefferson Hwy.
8.) Radosta's Italian Sausage Po Boy - Metairie
9.) Guy's Shrimp (or Catfish) Po Boy - New Orleans
10.) Bozo's Oyster Po Boy - Metairie

Please do not take the order of this list too seriously. It is certainly possible to do a Top 10 list for each type of po boy. I would be hard-pressed to put one type over another, and these are just my favorites in the order they occurred to me. Feel free to comment or write me with your recs.
