I grew up in Zachary.. didnt "go to town" much.. i then lived in lafayette for 7 years.. just moved back this january.. Where? Oh WHERE? can i find a good po-boy.. and i mean good tough french bread and for GOD's sake, put it in a po-boy press!
I think you are mistaking a po boy for a Cubano. Press my po boy and I'll give it back. Take I-10 east to the Cecilia Henderson exit. Turn right and go all the way to the end (about 6 miles). On your right you will see "The Corner Bar". Tell Boogie to fix up a shrimp poboy. If you want it pressed, use the heel of your hand.
This would be in Breaux Bridge right. Or at least heading to BB. I can't picture this location. Guess I'll have to take a ride. Had to read it twice I thought you were taking about the 4 way stop in Cecilia. Boogie.... Corner Bar... Shrimp Po boy Sounds like a feast
Don't think I made myself clear to some of you.. I just moved back.. to the baton rouge area.. To my understanding, pressing a po-boy is essential... po-boys were traditionally an on-the-go meal, and pressing them when meant to keep all of the the stuffing in. I always just liked the crispiness of the press. If you dont know what a press is, look at the grilled stuffed burrito at taco bell. Found somehting interesting about po-boys that I never though of... They are wrapped in paper and not plastic because since they are so hot, they have to be allowed to breathe or they will get moist...
Since you are in BR (you are correct, you weren't clear on that), you would take a left at the Henderson exit. And, yes, the Corner Bar is in Breaux Bridge. It used to be a bar, and I picked up many a skank there, but Boogie bought the building and turned it into a restaurant. You can't even smell the pine oil anymore. :hihi:

i dont think there is a such thing as a pressed poboy. Sounds like something you imagined or you went to a Subway's in Alaska one too many times.
I grew up in NO and I have never eaten a "pressed" po-boy. Warmed on the grill, yes, but never pressed. "Pressed" sounds like somebody claiming to make NO-style po-boys and failing miserably. BTW, outside of Rocco's, I have yet to find anything in BR close to a NO-style po-boy. When a BR restaurant advertises NO-style, be afraid. Be VERY afraid. And since SabanFan is sending you 2/3 of the way to Lafayette, just save yourself some trouble and go to NO. Nothing like Binder's or Leidenheimer's french bread to cut the roof of your mouth. And don't forget about Gendusa's for italian bread.
