Recently when I was in N'Awlins, I got to check out a poboy shop that Jamie, a colleague, had told me about: Guy's PoBoys ( http://menuorleans.com/guys-po-boy) -on Magazine between Bellecastle and Valmont - close to my old high school (De La Salle).
While I was unable to get my beloved fried oyster poboy there, I decided to try one of their special's for the day: alligator poboy, which was only $ 9.95 for large (foot long)!
When I went to pay by credit, I was told that they only take cash there. Since I only had two $ 5's and a little change, I told the check out guy that I'd downsize to the 1/2 foot for about $ 7.50, at which he took a $ 1 dollar bill out of the tip jar and said, "No problem, us 'Guys' got you covered!" He even gave me the change, which I, of course, put into the tip jar!
What a delight it was later to chomp into that fully dressed alligator sausage poboy at an Audubon Park shelter adjacent to the lagoon nearby - right off of St. Charles Avenue and in view of my old alma mater, Loyola University, and getting to enjoy the view and sounds of some streetcars that strolled by!
I'm definitely gonna send a belated real tip to that GUY at Guy's and want to spread the word out to others about another great "Naturally N'Awlins" place, as the late and beloved Frank Davis always noted; may he rest in peace - I'm sure God has him in charge of communication, cooking, fishing, etc!
Will have to try Guy's Poboys if I ever get to N'Awlins. When I first came to Houston, There was a place on South Main called "New Orleans Poboy." I went there quite often for lunch where they made-to-order your sandwich. They were always crowded and had an assembly line assembling the sandwiches. I don't know if they still operate there, but they were a pretty good transplant.
