Po-Boy

Fried Gulf shrimp, oysters or catfish, or roast beef dripping gravy, on a long loaf of New Orleans French bread with a thin crackly crust. Say "dressed" and you get lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. Start with an Uptown corner bar, a century-old tavern by Bayou St. John, or a French Quarter counter that sears its shrimp instead of frying them.
