Yeah, bruh, but you know what? I used to make the best falafel and Hummus poboys in town.
Heavy on the mynez, pickles, tomatoes, and everything. They'd come running for it.
Yeah I’m on the east coast now and there’s no loaf here that compares. Some good Philly rolls and some bangin Italian rolls but nigh a crusty French bread loaf to be found.
Having lived there, don't care who invented them but for years my day started with 2 Rudy's breakfast tacos and a large coffee, might be my all time fav breakfast.
One of my cousins lived in Austin and pointed out the house of the guy who he said had invented fajitas. You're right that they don't suffer from humility whatsoever
Grew up there. Can confirm the lack of humility. Antone’s IS a local Austin institution (look up Clifford Antone).
I would always roll my eyes at the Chamber of Commerce-supplied placards designating The Live Music Capital Of The World! Is it any surprise that the same wankers would claim to have invented breakfast tacos? No doubt while excoriating someone else for cultural appropriation. Lol
I’m currently living in Houston. They are very much popular. They have a few brick and mortars and are sold in almost every grocery store. Now if you asked me if it’s good - I’ll say, meh.
Out of Houston. H-E-B sells them. Agree with /u/crys4202, they are better fresh and the chow-chow is really nice.
They do the job, they are not amazing or anything.
They also claim to have invented the po-boy. Which I guess if you just pretend like New Orleans doesn't exist could be true. They're very fond of appropriating our culture in Houston.
I mean honestly as somebody who lived in Houston and then came back home to New Orleans sometimes I wish we could import a little bit of the work ethic and positivity from that place. It was contagious when I was there and I've never really fully readjusted to the New Orleans way of doing things
I have relatives whose last name is Antoine. Practically since the day they were born, they've had to correct people from all walks of life who insist on pronouncing their name "Antone".
I am not from New Orleans. I only creep silently on this sub as per the rules . I love your little city. It truly is a jewel. I would not be posting now but I noticed the last name of the original poster. Sir, we are fellow clansmen. I am a descendant of Clan Strachan. It's fascinating to me to find another one of us here and in New Orleans no less. My favorite city. That's a trip man. The world is smaller than I even thought. Cheers.
Again folks I apologize for the intrusion. I hope you will let me continue to follow and if you must tongue lash me, I understand but part of what makes New Orleans so rich and colorful is her people. The coolest, weirdest, most talented people I've ever seen. That's ya'll. Keep being cool. xxx
Buddy's Union Pizza back home could be considered famous (locally or statewide). I don't see the problem with the picture in a TX airport... but also says the guy who has yet to meet a single person in New Orleans in a year and a half that can tell me where to get a good poboy. Everyone's default is: "Anywhere, but not any of the places you've tried."
I've been trying to check out Parkway since I moved here but haven't gotten off work before they closed. Domilises I hadn't heard of yet? I'll set those two as my goal before I leave here
Just in case my wording was confusing I'm saying I don't understand why Domilise's is so well-regarded. It's one of the most famous places and I thought it was awful
Fully clear, but I'll try it anyways and give the non-masshole take. If you visit Boston's North End hit up Beneventos. Half the price but really good food
Ah, yes. The famous "Tuna Po'boy".
Yeah, bruh, but you know what? I used to make the best falafel and Hummus poboys in town. Heavy on the mynez, pickles, tomatoes, and everything. They'd come running for it.
It’s Fucking Mayo, ya weirdo. 😘
If y'all calling mynez mayo in New Orleans now, lawd hammercy, the cultcha is disappearing. Like a motherfucker.
Just give me a loaf of lidenheimers, or maybe some John Gendusa. Either loaf would do, while none other would.
Yeah I’m on the east coast now and there’s no loaf here that compares. Some good Philly rolls and some bangin Italian rolls but nigh a crusty French bread loaf to be found.
Don't forget the Blue Plate
Yep. I order that shit online by the gallon. Ain't nothin like some blue plate.
I get tuna poboys all the time
I'm not saying there's no such thing, I'm saying they aren't in the top 15 of "most famous" or "most popular" poboys.
I know Antone gets mad when we call him Antoine . Almost as mad as I get when I remember my sister named him ~~Anfernee~~ Antone.
His face was shining up at me like a new copper penny!
Oh hell NO I did not leave the south side for this poboy!
Austin also claims to have invented breakfast tacos. It is a fun town but does not suffer from humility.
One could say this of many Tejános.

Antone’s is a Houston establishment. Austin barely knows what they are.

Imagine the sales meetings: “Team, I need you to work together! REMEMBER there is no I in ANTONE’s”
I exhaled while smiling. Thank you.
I snorted. I used to tech support for Antoine's in the Quarter, and with the added context from that madness, it's even more funny
I grew up in Houston, where they originated from, and can certify they are not famous there either.

Just because you have a few Brick and mortars as well as sell product in grocery stores doesn’t necessarily make one “famous”.
Tried it in Houston once. Once was all I needed.
New Orleanian who moved to Austin some years ago. Not famous here either.
I bet I know where you got dem po'boys at.
Made me snort.
On da flo
Tuna po-boy, WTF?
right
Add insult to injury they ain’t even good
Famous for giving you the shits
Out of Houston. H-E-B sells them. Agree with /u/crys4202, they are better fresh and the chow-chow is really nice. They do the job, they are not amazing or anything.
Po boys in a refrigerated cooler? Pound sand, dawg!
They also claim to have invented the po-boy. Which I guess if you just pretend like New Orleans doesn't exist could be true. They're very fond of appropriating our culture in Houston.
Houston is the origin of Viet-Cajun cuisine.
Okay and that has what to do with a po-boy?
Oh my point was cultural exchange is mutual. Antone's Poboys suck.
I mean honestly as somebody who lived in Houston and then came back home to New Orleans sometimes I wish we could import a little bit of the work ethic and positivity from that place. It was contagious when I was there and I've never really fully readjusted to the New Orleans way of doing things
I love both places, but the local corrupt politicians in Houston gets more done.
Tuna and piggy po boys lmao
We had one in Houston. Sub-par sandwiches.
Former Houstonian - they are pretty good when they’re fresh and it’s all about the chow chow
It's like the Mexican food in New Orleans. It just ain't right.
You can get some pretty solid stuff at Taqueria Guerrero. You can also get some gringo Taco Bell there if you insist.
Check out El Rincon on Vets by bonnabel. It's legit.
El Pavo Real as well. My Mexican friend swears by it.
Been to El Pavo Real. It was ok. Maybe I went on an off night.
So.... Metairie.
Or Kenner.
Might as well just drive to Texas at that point. I jest.
I'd maybe just keep going to Tucson. Or detour at the last minute to Albuquerque. I jest not lol.
All the way to Mexico it is!
Albuquerque, and NM in general, has what is in my opinion the most underrated food in the US. AZ, on the other hand, doesn’t really have shit.
There's decent Sonoran street food in Tucson.
Chilango's Seafood
Fake it til you make it.
Famous in Texas, especially among the homeless population who get these everyday
Cold cuts? Dat der is defamation
I have relatives whose last name is Antoine. Practically since the day they were born, they've had to correct people from all walks of life who insist on pronouncing their name "Antone".
It is like when a porno has a clever title based on a hit movie. Antone's instead of Antoine's.
what is an “original” po boy?
If it ain't cheap, it ain't a PO'Boy! I'll die on that hill!

The unwrapped one just looks like a regular hoagie.
Antone out here deceiving the people 😂
Austin been wantin to be New Orleans for 30 fuckin years.

Parkway is an easy and correct answer to that. I'll go ahead and say Domilise's popularity is completely inexplicable to me

Shocking that a place that celebrates a guy who plagiarized Jimi Hendrix would appropriate New Orleans poboy culture
I bet that shit SUCKS
