That poboy looks divine! Have you ever had the roast beef sandwich at The Columns? It’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance.

I talked about Hansen’s in my entry today and again in the one I’m posting tomorrow. Do you mind if I link this post?

Parasol’s is good but my favorite po-boys can be found closer to Hansen’s: Domilises. Their erster po boy is even better than Casamentos.

I took my kids to Hansen’s about two weeks ago. When they got their sno-cones, my middle kid said, “This is no sno-cone. This is perfect.” She had the nectar. I went for coconut, which my 6 year old snapped from my hand remarking that she’d never had anything so good. So worth the ride.

Love the article–you certainly have a way with words. Made my mouth start watering. (Not for the ersta po-boys, since I’m one of the few locals who doesn’t eat them mollusks, but for the roach beef f’sure.)

Also, I have never been to Hansen’s, but you have made me determined to drive in from East Jesus to try it out.

Oh, and thanks for putting the pelican photo back up. Lovely, lovely.

[...] food orgy is captured by Pontchartrain Pete better than I could have captured it. So click here to read about the best oyster po boy I’ve ever eaten followed up by the best sno-ball [...]

I haven’t actually sat down in Parasols, but have had sandwiches from there and they are mighty tasty. I will also have to try Hansens, I am stuck going to Plum St since it is so close, and well pretty yummy! House sitting in that area next week so I may have to check both places out in person!

nice shot of Parasols. Notice the green “service window” in between the two regular windows. That’s a direct-access porthole as it were, to the bartender. Those were used to sell beverages to black folks in the Jim Crow days. I don’t think Parasols uses theirs at all anymore, but Saturn Bar used to use theirs to sell cold drinks to kids who couldn’t come in the bar itself.

That really was the best erster poboy I ever ate. Don’t know if it was the perfectly toasted french bread or the perfectly fried oysters. Or the combo. But it was fabulous.

Nectar cream is my favorite and I luv chocolate. Will have to try the combo.
