    The pot roast pictured is cooked for 12 hours in a broth with red wine reduction, garlic, carrots, and demi glace. It’s superb. The roast beef po boy is near the top of the hierarchical order of New Orleans sandwiches.

    Near the top????  What’s the competition (near the top)?

    in NOLA? Darned near every corner store in the city and most old school restaurants. Domilise s is world renowned. And Parasol s may well make the best roast beef po’ boy in the city, (so hard to say when there are so few bad ones!).

    I get a pot roast sub often at a place near me. It comes with grilled onions and provolone cheese on a toasted roll. I’d never heard of using pot roast this way, but it is absolutely delicious.

    Yes it is. Quick Chek even adds small potatoes cooked with the pot roast.Delicious!

    On those rare occasions when I have made a pot roast and actually have leftovers, I have been known to make a sandwich or two from them. It’s a favourite of mine. I have not run across any place this far north that makes one, though. That would be nice!

    Pot Roast for a sandwich?
    That just seems wrong.

    No. It’s a classic Po’ Boy. Very yummy. Can’t beat a roast beef with debris and gravy. Except, maybe, a shrimp Po’ Boy. The key, though is the bread. If it ain’t Leidenheimer bread, it ain’t worth eating!

    Gendusa makes a really good loaf, and Wild Flour is the bread in the picture. It’s great too. Leidenheimer is the most popular though. I’d love to see new/old school bakery Bellegarde tackle the po boy loaf.

    No,it’s delicious. Quick Chek, a local 7-11 type store , has a 6″ pot roast sub for $3. Quite good. Can’t beat the price!!

    … and while I’m here ………

    welp … it took 13 years … but I finally made to 1000 posts.  I’d like to thank Archestrolus, and Escoffier, and Dione Lucas, and Chef Duglass (my chef), I have so many more to thank but my 90 seconds is up and the band is starting to play me off …

    and thank you all for your inspiration. 

    Congrats….and here’s to the next thousand!

    Parkway is overhyped. It's the one po boy shop that is on the big coach tourist buses schedule. Greyhound style coaches regularly disgorge in front of the operation creating massive lines. It's kitschy and would be a good spot to take aunt Glenda who's visiting from Topeka but it's not in any serious "best" conversations.

    I don t know  aunt Glenda from Topeka, but Uncle Michael gives it a 5 star or Legendary rating here on Roadfood. The review says  best of the best.

    While I do love “meat and bread” po boys this example of a loaded sandwich really works. The pot roast is so rich that it needs some greenery to cut through the heaviness.

    Don t get me wrong, I love pot roast,
    I ve just never considered it sandwich material.
    We almost always had it for Sunday dinner.
