"Castnet Seafood makes our favorite po’boy in the city (yes, even better than Parkway). If it’s your first time, go with the quintessential dressed New Orleans fried shrimp, which comes with lettuce, pickle, tomato, Blue Plate mayonnaise, Crystal hot sauce, and a little butter on Leidenheimer French bread. They also serve a hot sausage option that’s equally good, made with Patton’s, which is the gold standard for ground meat patties, and tastes great dressed with cheese. You can also get really quality boiled seafood and fixins, fried or fresh seafood, gumbo, and plate lunches. Did we mention there’s also a snowball stand on the right (Brain Freeze) and a barbecue joint that’s a Jazz Fest classic on the left (Walker’s BBQ)?" - chelsea brasted, zella palmer, carlo mantuano, megan braden perry
