The Absolute Best Po'boy Sandwiches
RECEIVED Tue., April 26, 2005
Margaret,
So enjoyed your article of the Louisiana Guide [“Cajun Coeur,” Music, April 22]. Just got back from Baton Rouge yesterday and I discovered the absolute best po'boy sandwiches! The restaurant is Georges, and there are three locations – one is right under I-10. Take the Perkins exit after you get off of the bridge and are heading to New Orleans. It is under the interstate. The one I went to is on Highland Road. By far the best shrimp, oyster, and roast beef po'boys you will ever eat. I am from New Orleans and if I still lived there, Georges would be one of those "roadies" that I would have to do at least once a month. I am still trying to find a good po'boy in Austin, but often the failure is in the bread. It is not real French bread, and it is not lightly toasted.
If you get back that way anytime soon, try Georges.
