The one to order

The glazed pork belly po'boy with lime-dressed slaw

The line to expect: Busy at night; order at the window.

A counter in the back of an Irish bar that reinvented the po'boy; there's a bigger second shop on Dauphine Street.

Fried shrimp po'boy, dressed

40 min · 2 po'boys. Cornmeal-crusted shrimp fried hot and crisp, stuffed into light, crackly New Orleans French bread 'dressed' with lettuce, tomato, pickles and mayo. The bread should be airy enough to crush when you bite.
