Poyboy bread flown in …??? Impossible.

Poyboy bread is only good for bread crumbs or bread pudding the next day. Well I guess a person could wrap it in plastic -a mortal sin in New Orleans- then have it flown overnight but then it’s still not the same.

You can get a good Mufellata at Fort Defiance in Red Hook. You can also get Abita all over town these days, too. I’ve seen it for sale in many a deli.

I have yet to try this but the thing that’s so hard to get right is the bread. It needs to be baked in very humid conditions to get the right texture, which also makes it go stale really quickly. I’m not so sure what kind of condition it’s in after a 4 hour flight.

Where did you do all your po’boy eating!? In the Quarter?

Although maybe prices have gone up because of the oil spill?

If you want a good po’boy or fried oysters new orleans style you NEED to go to Great Jones Cafe on Great Jones and Bowery. That place is awesome and you can even grab a nice Abita beer straight from New Orleans. This place also has the best wings in the city… its like a wing soup. Wow, I am going there later.

The beignets look more like zeppoles there.

I was a little disappointed about the oyster po’boy because it was strips of fried oyster than whole fried oysters which was what I was expecting. I guess for $8.50, I can’t really argue about it. The sandwich was a decent size though. Apparently they get their po’boy bread baked and flown in all the way from New Orleans. Now that’s authentic.

Actually, $8.50 for a oyster po-boy is way cheaper than you’ll get in New Orleans – just came back from there and they were all >$10 (though granted probably larger). So a pretty good deal.

I know the sandwiches look small, but most of them contain something either fatty, fried or both. I did not feel awesome after eating chicken biscuit, plus chips, plus beignets.
