Did you know that Gambino’s bakery ships their french bread to you!!?? You can order from them online and they send you french bread!!!!!!!! You can also order it from cajungrocer.com but I have only ordered from Gambino’s seeing as I know their bakery and being born and raised in New Orleans… its traditional! After I married an Army soldier and had to move away I have become pretty good at finding what I need when I need it!!

Wow great post! IT looks like you a fantastic meal on your hands. I highly recommend my client La Cense Beef when it comes to organic beef and Steak recipes. They truly are a treat!

You’re right about Vietnamese places having good French stuff.

Years ago I spent a few months in Houston. About the only places you could buy coffee and chicory dark roast New Orleans coffee–CDM particularly–was in the Vietnamese groceries.

I grew up in N.O. and used to go to Martin Brothers Original Po-Boy Restaurant on St. Claude Ave. (I’m talking about 60 years ago), to eat their Po-Boy sandwich at night after a date. They were the original po-boy restaurant for roast beef and they used sliced roast beef, not the kind in your picture, and plenty of gravy. They also made shrimp, soft-shell crab and combination(cheese and ham) po-boys. They were the BEST!!

Amazingly good, I have made it at least twice a year since ‘07. I made one change though. I was short on stock so I poured one of my homebrewed Baltic porters into it and it made a big difference. You should try it if you get a chance, it’s a real roasty, and malty beer and supports the flavors nicely. In case you can’t find a Baltic Porter, substitute a Russian Imperial Stout or a Dopplebock.

Cheers!

I see people asking for the french bread receipe. I don’t live New Orleans anymore and do miss the food. What I have found that comes close to New Orleans french bread is the Pepperidge Farms, Hot and Crusty Twin French bread. Make sure you sprinkle the top with water before baking to make it crusty.
Also, making any kind of beef roast in a slow cooker makes great roast beef bo boys.

I grew up in the Irish Channel and ate at Parasol’s regularly. Roast beef poboy dressed, a Barq’s root beer, and half a roll of paper towels was always the order. As a kid, we always wore old clothes there because we would be covered in the gravy after a few bites. I was really good at licking the mixture of gravy and mayonaisse (pronounced mynez) off my arm. The only poboy that comes close to theirs is at Bear’s in Covington which is where i live now. I’m lookin forward to giving your recipe a try. It sounds great! I have to agree that Mother’s is for tourists and Parasol’s is for locals. Afterall, the locals know what a true poboy tastes like. As for da bread, toasted Leidenheimer’s was always our choice for homemade poboys.
