Okra is a must, SloMo. I also like adding some fresh oysters to my seafood gumbo. Only a few at a time, though, between servings, because they will over cook.

I'll be in New Orleans for Mardi Gras and the first thing I'm doing is grabbing a real roast beef poboy with gravy. MMmmmmmmm......I hope it's so sloppy I end up wearing it.

I have lived here all of my life, excepting the 20 yrs i was gone in the Army.

My true love is Roast Beef and also Oyster Poboys.

I have had favorites over the yrs.

My all-time, ABSOLUTE FAVORITE roast beef poboy comes from:

http://sammyspoboys.com/

I will put Sammy's against ANY roast beef poboy anywhere!

p.s. order extra gravy on the side. No charge!

A po'boy sounds good ... do you guys ever put coleslaw on a sandwich around there? A good slaw really dresses it up, IMO, but maybe it's an up-north thing.

Yes. On BBQ, but also, it's really good on a pulled pork po-boy. There is also a local mexican joint called Juan's Flying Burrito, they do a Pork-n-Slaw taco that will blow your mind.

Also, we lived in the Mississippi Delta for a while when I was a kid. My mom talks about this BBQ place she ate at all the time when she was prego with me. Place was called Humpty Dumpty's...they had a BBQ sammy w/ slaw that was de bomb!!

the BBQ places around here that know about it, they do it. Slaw does make a HUGE difference on a pulled pork sandwich.

To me, 'slaw makes everything good, put it on a cornbeef or pastrami with swiss, (turkey can be substituted for the more healthy-conscience eaters), thousand island or russian dressing, on grilled rye and it is pure heaven. Add a side dish of fruit and I think you cover all the major food groups to.

If you are ever here around Jazz Fest time (coming up), there is a food booth at the Jazz Fest that is FAMOUS for it's Cochon-De-Lait...which is essentially a slow-cooked, pulled pork with a spicy horesradish mayo, topped with cole slaw. It is quite possibly the best po-boy on the planet. And if you arent in town when Jazz Fest is going on, Mahoney's Po-Boys on magazine has one all year around (just not sure if they put the slaw on it...and the slaw is really good)
