"Parenton’s got its start as a small Irish Channel grocery in the 1940’s — yes, you read that right. It’s been in Jefferson since the ’50s, flying under the radar for some but with an unwavering following of fans who frequent the shop weekly. It’s known for shrimp and roast beef po’ boys, but consider taking advantage of the daily specials, which include its famous chicken fried steak po’ boy. Either way, you’ll be happy you made this stop." - Eater Staff
