w/out question my all-time favorite sammich, it sits alone atop all others
and the Central Grocery is the only place I long to head back to every year for a sammich…the sights, sounds of New Orleans are a second thought to that sammich

Wow, Danno. What can I say? I expected your recipe to be good, but I was floored by how well it tasted like Central Grocery’s. The olive salad tastes like I picked it up in the French Quarter this morning. Here’s my success with your recipe — I still can’t believe how well it came out. Thank you, thank you!

I grew up in Slidell and I will have to admit that the Central grocery was first with the muff, but (in my opinion) not the best. I have lived in Atlanta since I was 18 and have not been back to Central since I was 12 years old. Our local pizza place in Slidell delivered quality muffs to your front door. Imagine if Domino’s Pizza did that? It would probably suck, but imagine if it was as good as Central’s muff.
Pre-Katrina I would always go to Frank’s place next door. This has been my wife’s, friends’ and my destination on every trip. I usually eat a muff there twice in every visit.
I really need to figure out the bread. That is the real key to this sandwich (also the PoBoy). It is the one thing I have yet to get correct.

BTW: This site awesome! PLEASE, keep up the good work!

I’m from New Orlean’s and have eaten many Muffs. Central Grocery’s Muffuletta may be the original, but by far it is NOT the best. The bread is very good, that is always important to a great sandwich, but their olive salad is very weak in taste. I’m sure the meats and cheeses are good, but Central’s stinginess will leave you tasting mostly bread.

On a scale from 1 to 10, I give Central’s Muff a low 5.

I saw Rachel Ray eating a muffuletta from central grocery on $40 a Day last week. Came across your blog and made your recipe this weekend. Fabulous! The bread turned out perfect and the olive salad was incredible. Thanks.

I had my first experience with the muffuletta this weekend when I visited my Friend in New Orleans. One of our firsts stops was to Central’s Grocery to try a muff. Man, I mean what can I say?? It was amazing. We were going to stop back by on monday before we left to grab some for the road, but they were closed. They did tell us that they are very short-handed and that may have been why they were closed, but yeah…. CG is hiring if anyone needs a job… haha…. and thanks for the recipe bc i’m dying for another and it broke my heart that they were closed.

Thanks M.A., Still working out some bugs and the facelift. The sloppy roast beef Po’ Boys are great, with pan debris, I like the one at Mother’s.
