One of my favorite Po-Boy Shops (don't know if it's still here) is/was Adams Street Grocery. The other, now defunct, po-boy shop I liked was Street Car Sandwiches on S.Carrollton Avenue. These shops some of the juiciest po-boys I'd ever eaten.

Describe your favorite Sandwich in vivid detail: My favorite sandwich was roast beef, dripping with gravy, lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo. I also liked (and still do) shrimp po-boys, with the shrimp fried very crispy, and mayo on them.

What is the Po-Boy origin story you grew up hearing: Probably the one about these sandwiches originating during the Depression (or earlier), and sold to workers.

How far away from NOLA have you encountered Po-Boys (and how bad were they without authentic New Orleans French bread): I think the furthest I've gone from NOLA, and had a po-boy, is Pass Christian, MS, with its Pirates Cove Restaurant. This restaurant uses french bread (probably authentic New Orleans, with all the ex-pat New Orleanians living on the MS Gulf Coast), and its sandwiches are pretty good.
