Oh yeah, Tom Fitzmorris ... he's kinda slippin' himself!
The hot sausage po-boy with gravy and Creole mustard at Domilise's (one of which I had very recently), is an intensely religious experience. I like the jernt, and da neighbahood.
I've never had a shrimp po-boy there in my life, and probably never will. I get shrimp po-boys elsewhere. I go to Domilise's for hot sausage po-boys with gravy.

You know, this points out a big misconception that many people have about po-boy places--they all do a wide range of po-boys well. I'm with you, Chuck. I go to different places to get different sandwiches. I almost always get italian sausage when I go to Lovecchio's on Harrison, hot sausage or a cheesburger po-boy at Parkway Bakery, ham with debris at Mother's, roast beef at Streetcar, etc. Fried seafood is a tricky one. Many places do shrimp and oyster po-boys well, but if they don't, that doesn't mean that the rest of their sandwiches are terrible. Same thing the other way around. Parran's po-boys on Veterans in Metairie does fried seafood very well, but their roast beef is terrible.

An unbelievable bargain, actually. When I last ate at Brigtsen's I had something from the regular menu, but my sister and her intended got the early bird special. You get to choose between two appetizers, two entrees, and two desserts, plus coffee, for $15. At one of the finest restaurants in town. Amazing!
> la provence was the biggest disappointment...
You're not the first person I've heard this from.
I've never actually eaten at La Provence, but I've always wanted to. My parents went there for my dad's birthday last year, and all they did was bitch about it. I figured that it was just normal for them, because my mom doesn't like what she calls "weird" food (meaning she's not adventurous, and won't eat a LOT of stuff), and sometimes my parents seems very difficult to please in a restaurant. And when my dad said how disappointing he found the heralded stuffed quail gumbo and thought mine was better (ack), I thought he was just being a dad. So what's the deal with La Provence? Has anyone else on the list eaten there? They get consistently high ratings everywhere I see them written up, but I've heard this kind of disappointment from a few people.

+You're not the first person I've heard this from.
The food wasn't bad, just wasn't what i was expecting (more my fault than theirs). The prices weren't as bad as i expected. I REALLY liked the interior of the restaurant with tables set around a central wood burning fireplace. I think I was expecting more Parisian french than country french. I had french onion soup (of course), dinner salad, and a sauteed trout with shallots and something else, and creme brulet. I think I'll try it again, but will know what to expect. I also think next time I'll try the north african lamb sausage (whatever that is), and the duck (with garlic sauce, i believe). Or maybe I'll do what I should have done in the first place in a restaurant I wasn't familiar with and asked the waitress for recommendations (but did hear the duck recommended to another table).
**************************************************
did find a preliminary draft of an earlier message:
i'll rank best meals at christian's and galatoires and a special award to brigtsen's.
wednesday:
l: shrimp poboy at lovechhio's thought was mediocre, but should
have asked what to get here before i went.
thursday:
d: bozo's fried shrimp/stuffed crab/french fries
delicious as always, including the
always memorable screw top glasses of wine.
after: joe cool's christmas show at tips (in well founded
anticipation of missing church over the weekend).
show wasn't bad, i parked maybe 100 feet from the
door, and there was only maybe a 100 people in the joint
if that. not unusual for a gospel show, not too much
bar sales, the bartenders kind of starved that night.
later: c.j. chenier cutting up over at mid city bowling.
saturday:

sunday:

mary mahoney's (an antebellum place near the casino blight). menu
looked good and will have to try on next extended stay.
wednesday:
d: brigtsen's - early bird dinner, a real bargain for $15! interesting
salad with citrus garnish and a citrus vinegarette, a well prepared
fish, and desert.
thursday:

d: la provence - french onion soup, dinner salad, sauteed trout,
creme brulet - one of the best in terms of atmosphere (a
blazing fireplace in the center of the room, and most forgettable

instead. {they also had escargot on the menu, ed}.
friday: l: domilices - roast beef poboy
d: christians:
od'd on menieure sauce here but was well worth it.
smoked softshell crab for an appetizer, trout amandine menuiere,
and a brownie with homemade vanilla ice cream and praline sauce.
the waiter didn't seem to know a whole lot about how the crab
was prepared, but he did say it was alive before, during and after
the smoking and battering up until it hit the oil. i commented that
that must be one pissed of crab and could he find out some details
like what kind of wood, oil etc. after a second request the answer

for the frying. oh well, maybe i can get the rest of the details

I imagine that Poppy's resembles New Orleans lunch counters of quite a few years ago. Poppy's is home to a delicious and cheap Shrimp Po-Boy special ($2.98). The whole name of the place is Poppy's Poorboys (1803 Louisiana, right off St. Charles).
After the 'help' takes your order, an older woman with a red bouffant-beehive hairdo comes out of the back to ring you up. She looks like a nint' ward Bunny Matthews cartoon come to life (Bunny is the guy who does the 'Vic an' Nat'ly cartoon). Her forearms are dusted with flour which I assume comes from hand-breading the seafood.
The place is kind of dingy and less than clean, which is not unexpected. I feel more comfortable there than I do at other scummy-but-yummy eateries such as the Hummingbird (amazing what we'll endure for our food down here).
I also tried the onion rings, which were some of the best I've had anywhere in town. I imagine they slice and bread these by hand as well.
Andy B
I'd be interested to hear any other accounts of Poppy's, interesting stories, and especially the history behind the place. Any connection to Poppy's Grill on St. Peter?
BTW, I'm not sure if Poppy's is 'trying to sell the place' or not. I had been told that there was a 'for sale' sign out front, but it wasn't there when I went, and it was pretty busy, so I just enjoyed my sandwich.

You ain't alone, bra. I'd love to have a little hole-in-the wall like dat. I've also dreamed about having a place like Port of Call.
But I will disagree that Streetcar is revisionist. Nothing is revisionist about a po-boy place that uses Gendusa's bread. You can get the best roast beef po-boy in town there, and the second best ham po-boy (Mother's still gets the award in that category). Everyone's entitled to a creative streak. Now, if they were selling the oddball sandwiches and didn't sell the classics, that would be wrong.

Here are some nutshell updates:
Galatoire's: still up to its reputation. Lan's revillion report to the list made me quite jealous. :-)
Arnaud's: was good at lunchtime last time I was there. Check out Remoulade on Bourbon, which is supposed to be a "casual" version of Arnaud's.
Court of Two Sisters: haven't been there in years. It's got the rep of being a tourist trap, so it'll be interesting to see if anyone can confirm or deny that reputation.
Bayona: love that garlic soup!
Mother's: still the best (if not the cheapest) ham po-boy in town.

Taqueria Corona is where it's been for a while now (and has spawned two other "branches"; they also run a booth at Jazzfest). Mais Oui became Martinique a year or so ago, with a Caribbean tone, as the name implies. Since Hubert Sandot's ownership, the name has remained the same, but it is now subtitled "a French Bistro." The food is more Frenchy than Caribbean, but reportedly very good (haven't tried it yet). In the spirit of mentioning restaurant relocations or expansions: the Louisiana Pizza Kitchen now has an Uptown outpost at the corner of St. Charles and Carrollton; it's where the Jeans shop was next to La Madeleine. And the Bangkok Thai restaurant has opened up next to Cooter Brown's. Riverbend is becoming a serious foodie detour, what with these new players, along with Frankie's Cafe, La Volage, and Hana.

The same thing happened to me the first time that I went to Camellia Grill. I decided to have the same thing as her, and I'm sure glad that I did. That had to be the best omelet that I've ever tasted in my life.

Hey, you know around the corner in that general area of Camilia's is a cookie shop, the name of which eludes me, that sells the best friggin' cookies I have ever had anywhere. Do yourself a favor and never go in there; you will CRAVE these things if you eat even one.

Ah, the Camelia Grill. Perhaps the first and best fast food joint, the only one I've ever seen that needs (and has) a Maitre D'. Is it the only diner that looks like a plantation? Some of the staff have been there for fifty years; service is typically entertaining. If you want a tour of the kitchen, ask for directions to the bathroom. Perhaps shabby, but busy, and apparently clean.
Located where the streetcar turns at St. Charles and Carrolton, it's also the easiest place to see the levee and the river. Weather permitting, its a great place to work up an appetite or walk a meal off. The omlets! The burgers! The hot pecan pie with ice cream or melted cheese! Even natives will wait in line to eat there. I almost hate to pass the word out too much.
But gee, there are thousands of great little places in New Orleans, a dozen within a stome's throw Carrolton and St. Charles that serve great food. Red beans, rice, and hot sausage and a hunk of hard crust french bread. a dash of Tobasco and a draft and I'm in heaven, at most any New Orleans corner bar.

For us neighbors in the Audubon Park area who have been going to Tujaques for poboys for years plus, i can say we still refer to the sandwiches as Tujagues, a hangover from pre-WWII inherited from our Mommas and Daddys telling us "let's go get some poboys from Tujaques." Sam Domilise ran the bar and was Captain of a certain Mardi Gras Krewe for years ( i won't tell which one!). If anyone ever goes do Domilise's you might notice that the ladies makin' da sanwiches run a different operation from da bar boys (altho the same family).
While talkin' bout that neighborhood, very few, if any, of you know about Chisel's bar on da corner of Webster and Laurel Sts. (now called Norby's Bar and Sandwich Shop). A certain altar boy now a priest delivered poboys by bicycle in the neighborhood as Chisel's. Its a great little place discovered by the Tulane Univ. crowd in the '70s and now forgotten.
This is one of the last neighborhoods where your Momma knows my Momma cause our Grandma's went to school together.
