Guy's Po-Boys

Where to Eat in New Orleans | Bon Appétit

"Po’boys are supposed to be simple, affordable, and satisfying—and that’s Guy’s: my go-to (often to-go) spot. Grab a fried shrimp po’boy dressed (lettuce, Blue Plate mayonnaise, pickle, and tomato when in season) and round it out with potato salad, red beans and rice, and a Barq’s root beer; keep an eye on daily specials, and if you’re not feeling shrimp the ham-and-cheese or fried oyster are great alternatives. The place is very old-school New Orleans—small, about four tables and zero outdoor seating—so it’s better to eat outside standing on the street or take your po’boy on a leisurely walk to nearby Audubon Park, and remember to generously shake Crystal hot sauce all over it before you head out." - ByAna Castro, as told to Megan Braden-Perry
