EAC, sorry, missed this. They are open on Saturdays. Lunch and early dinner. 249 Aris Street in Hog Alley. (Ol' Metry)

JAG had to eat her combo with this staring over her shoulder:

The Famous Radosta Cow! Actually it is the head of an African Cape Buffalo that once graced the den of a nearby neighbor. When he got married, his new bride ordered the thing out of the house and Don Radosta graciously accepted it.

Today I had a Joan Special, lovely shrimp sauteeed in butter and herbs and served on crispy French bread. Sorta like a lite version of a Liuzza BTT BBQ shrimp po-boy.

JAG's next lunch time discovery will be Sammy's Live Oak Deli in Bucktown, another converted Metairie neighborhood grocery store.
Damn, Jeeves, that sounds goood. I'll have to give them a try when I'm back in town.

Will do, Jeeves. But I still think we should hit Finn McCools first.

The only place I think that rivals it in the area (kinda) is Sammy's on Live Oak

I've only been once but no complaints. I think I had a shrimp poboy.
