Roast Beef Po-boys

[BTG]

So what are your top three these days?
I have moved Joe Seppie's to #1
#2 Parkway
#3 Radosta's

I dropped the Little Red Wagon out of the top three.

Up here on the Northshore, I've been eating a lot of Rags and their Roast Beef Po-boy is usually what I get, and it's damn good. Mandina's is also up there for me.

I'd say my three are:

1) Parasols'- the best.

2) Parkway- Good but definitely second best

3) Any of the others mentioned. The above two are the best. There are other good ones though but I tend to stick to Parasol's usually.

I just had an almost perfect 10 inch roast beef at Mr. Poor Boy's on Jefferson Hwy. in Reefer Ridge. It was loaded with tender "real" roast (real meaning house cooked, not sliced from some deli nub and dumped into canned gravy). It had just the right amount of shredded lettuce, tomato and pickle. And the gravy was very good. It would have been perfect if the bread would have been seeded. $6.50

I don't know if this is the "best" roast beef in the city but it was the best one I've had in a while. And that includes Come Back Inn, Village Inn, and Radosta's.....all of which are pretty good.

I had a pretty good one at Mahoney's today. Parasol's is good, Parkway's doesn't do much for me - but I will be the first to admit I am not a RB po-boy fanatic. I have actually had a decent one at Ignatius on Magazine, strangely enough. Johnny's in the Quarter is pretty good.

I nearly killed myself on the debris style RB at Rivershack...dangerously close to home.
Joe Sepie's and R & O rank.

I'm out of the New Orleans picture right now, but has Crabby Jacks fallen off the local radar?

Not for me. Only problem is that they are my #1 spot for a fried shrimp po-boy. When I make that trip, I never even think of a RB.

I've got the same issue. I have no idea if Crabby Jack's RB is any good. I don't get past the duck, the rabbit and the fried shrimp. Crabby Jack's has a number of "unusual" po-boys which I tend to stick to those. The RB may be really good. I simply have no idea.

Joe Sepies Roast Beef is awesome, but I can't get past their meatball poboy. THAT is a damn fine sandwich. The owner is a nice, interesting fellow. He remembers my family and we talk about all sorts of things. Nice place, I need to get over there soon.

[Oyster]

1) Rodastas
2) Johnny's
3) Mothers...just because it is ...different
4) Di Martino's...because it is close to home.

Can't comment on anything in Harahan. Don't get to Egypt very often.

Jeeves, I have to try that NOLA Grocery again, I guess. I went on a Sat evening and we ended up dumping it all in the trash. I better not write them off on one try. Probably Saturday an off time for regular staff.

Parkway Bakery

Bears (I prefer Covington, but others I know prefer Mandeville; either way, hard to beat), Monster's, Pontchartrain, Johnny's, Jo Seppie's, Parran's, Cap Humble (an old buddy) are all among my favorites. Have not ben to the old Weaver's (Can't remember new name) or Parkway, which I am told, is #1.

I long for the good old days, when you could get a good RB Po-boy at almost every little conrer store (well it seemed that way).
