Ask a New Orleanian for their top poboy recommendations, and chances are that list will include Domilise's Po-Boy & Bar. But, spoiler, until last week, I'd never been before.
Dig in: Domilise's is a veritable institution in the New Orleans poboy world.
It's been around for about a century, operated by members of the Domilise family the whole time.
When the restaurant reopened after Hurricane Katrina, the line was several blocks long.

What I ordered: A bottle of Barq's ($2.25), a side of curly wedge fries ($3.18) and a small oyster poboy ($19), fully dressed.
Pro tip: You can do a half-and-half, but only if you order a large.
That's why, with Carlie joining me, she ordered a shrimp poboy so we could swap halves of each.
The bottom line: The sandwiches were a perfect way to toast our Friday.
We happily chowed down, gossiping about work (sorry, boss!) as the fryer steadily burbled in the background.
