Jackson Square is also a great place to enjoy a muffuletta while you people watch. The only other eating experience I have had in New Orleans that was even close to this was a burger at Port of Call. New Orleans is absolutely one-of-a-kind and I can’t wait until I am able to visit, and eat, again. Thank you for a post that brings back so many fantastic memories!

Just got back from NOLA a few hours ago. Bought 2 Central Grocery muffalettas right before we left to come back to Chicago. As a matter fact, I just finished half of one while reading this link. This is truly the most amazing sandwich I have ever had!

With all this, something should be said for the captain of the store, Frank Tusa. He has kept it steady, and high, and yummy.
Frank, you’re the Man!

Central used to be great, but they’ve cut back on the fillings so much over the years they’re not so great any more. Try Serio’s Deli right off Canal St. for a wonderful muffuletta.
