What do you consider a Po Boy? (1 Viewer)

[TheIronSheik]

There is such a thing as a cheesesteak. 

Maybe to people who have never had an authentic one.  But what you call a cheesesteak is not a cheesesteak.

wtf

wtf

If you google "po boy", there is a resemblance.   Of course that's where the comparison ends.

I assume you can get chips and a drink for an extra $2.39, no?

Bread has to be crispy on the outside, soft and tender bread inside.  Roast beef is the origin, and you've not lived until you've had a debris po-boy.  They aren't just native to Louisiana either; Texas, Mississippi, Bama, Georgia....all over the south but no doubt New Orleans does it the best. 

Know where you can't get a good one?

I've added shrimp poboys to my short list of the pleasantries that come with living in MS.  Chances are, I'll be spotted at Sal and Phil's tomorrow.

PBR is basically just a beer, too.

I"m more into Natty Ice personally, do they have a natty ice po boy?

Ideally, hush puppies for the full po boy experience.

What’s this “with roast beef” stuff?  I’ve never encountered a po boy with that as an option.  I assume hot roast beef?  Au jus?

One of the original NOLA classics.  With "debris". Sort of like a chunky, meaty, more flavorful au jus.  Basically what's left on the bottom of the pan after roasting beef.

That sounds horrifying

In NO you can get pretty much whatever you want if you know where to look.

 

[SaintsInDome2006]

NO.

 

[Godsbrother]

Is that technically a sammich?

Yes

 

[Scoresman]

Po boy seems like a racist term to me. Can we just call it an Economically Disadvantaged Young Individual?  

 

[Tom Servo]

Go sit in the corner; the foodies are talking.

I've started calling them Genra Managers.

That seems like a wild ends of the spectrum for what constitutes po boy filling:  fried seafood on one side and roast beef on the other.  No matter, I’m down with the roast beef and chunky au jus, sounds great

My father, when he was working downtown, used to go there so often for lunch they always skipped him through the line.  That place is straight from heaven.

Your life is not complete.

Worlds Best Ham! I’d weigh 350 pounds if I ate lunches there.

Roast Beef Po Boys (aka Subs, aka Hoagies, aka Grinders) are better in nola than anywhere else if I may say so.

I'd generalize that to "food".

 

[Dan Lambskin]

WTF does that mean?  Are Salami, Livercheese, Bologna, and Ham not part of the luncheon meat category?  

Yeah WTF?

 

[GoBirds]

Got a sandwich for lunch today.  Now this was no authentic type place or anything so i wasn't expecting much, but i order a shrimp po boy and I get:

5 or 6 boiled shrimp, a bit of lettuce, a few pieces of tomato, some remoulade sauce

on a hot dog bun

Now I'm no expert, but this seemed like some grade A bull####, especially for $9.75.

They won’t be Po for long charging that much. 

 

[GoBirds]

That's still no reason to call it boy.

That’s a great point....now that I think about it I’m offended.
