If there ever was a po' boy rich enough for our girl Gwen Stefani, this is the one. Not too fancy, but with a sizable amount of midriff-bearing sass...

Yats way on the left coast, up in San Francisco is serving up NOLA specialities. They import Leidenheimer bread from New Orleans, for French Fry PoBoys *(w/ roast beef gravy), a debris PoBoy (Ala Mother's), fried shrimp and oyster po boys. They also serve gumbo and crawfish etouffee. (I'd love to hear some first-hand reports).

New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival Slated for November
Successful Celebration to be Twice the Size of Last Year
Thousands of New Orleanians will celebrate the city's most famous sandwich—on November 23, 2008 as they head for Oak Street for the second annual New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival.
The Festival will be held from noon to 6 p.m. that Sunday in a five-block section of Oak Street between Carrollton Avenue and Leonidas Street. Intersection is accessible by streetcar.
This festival was founded as a celebration of the storied sandwich and the role it has played in New Orleans' culinary culture. The festival also highlights the ongoing revitalization of the Oak Street business corridor, which was designated a National Main Street in 2006 by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, and a Louisiana Main Street by the Department of Historic Preservation, which authorizes the program.
Proceeds from the festival go toward the Oak Street Association's work to promote, preserve, and revitalize Carrollton's historic Oak Street neighborhood and commercial corridor. A portion of proceeds will go to benefit and further the restoration of Ladder 7 Fire Station at 2430 S. Carrollton Avenue.
The first New Orleans Po-Boy Preservation Festival was held last year and featured po-boy offerings from some of the city's most famous restaurants. Festival judges, including Tom Fitzmorris of "The Food Show," presented the "Golden Loaf Awards" for the best tasting po-boys. This free public street festival had more than 10,000 attendees in 2007 and covered three commercial street blocks of Oak Street. Again this year, the festival will feature two stages with live music, arts and crafts, a silent auction, a children's section with games and prizes, panel discussions covering the history of the po-boy (starting at 10:30 a.m.) and, of course, the best tasting po-boys in New Orleans.
Music is Noon 'til 6 p.m., including The Rebirth Brass Band, The Iguanas, Walter Washington, and Amanda Shaw & the Cute Guys.

YatCuisine did a story on New Orleans Barbequed Shrimp, or bbq skrimps as my pal JoeP might say. It's tasty recipe and worth a read when you're thinking about your next shrimp dinner. Don't forget to fix me a plate too! :)
This is one of the easiest New Orleans dishes to make, and it's fantastic if
you're not afraid of butter. Unlike "shrimp on the barbie," when New Orleanians
think of "barbecued" shrimp, they really mean baked with lots of butter and
pepper. The dish was invented at Pascal's Manale Restaurant, uptown on Napoleon
Ave., and it's their signature entree to this day. — YatCuisine

Several years ago Pascale's had a lunch special, not sure if it's still on the menu... a Barbeque Shrimp Poboy! All the taste on a delicious poboy. YUM!
