Parentons Poboys

"Chances are, any old-school po’ boy joint in Jefferson Parish will also serve a solid muffuletta. This is true of Parenton’s, a small Irish Channel grocery-turned-Jeff Parish staple that’s been around since the 1940s. It’s served cool here, which is some folks’ preference, in some cases because it makes for better leftovers, and on seeded French bread instead of traditional muffuletta bread." - Beth D'Addono, Eater Staff

"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
