Where to Find New Orleans’ Best Iconic Dishes | Eater New Orleans

"Central Grocery returned to New Orleans’s iconic foods landscape in December 2024 after being closed for three years following Hurricane Ida. Thank goodness, because a taste of the deli’s famed muffuletta is that much more special after visiting the French Quarter storefront where it was invented. The sandwich, which is the only one Central Grocery sells, is layered with olive salad, Genoa salami, ham, mortadella, provolone, and Swiss cheese, and is served cold. It travels exceptionally well, so a good move is to bring one down to the riverfront for an al fresco experience. If a hot and toasty version of the sandwich sounds more your style, the nearby Napoleon House is the spot to try one. Here’s a full list of where to find the best muffulettas in town." - Eater Staff
