Olde Time Grocery: Po-Boys

Ever since the roommate and I began telling people about the Po-Boy festival, people have been recommending places for us to satisfy our po-boy craving. The place that everyone in Lafayette recommends is Olde Time Grocery.

This po-boy shop is located on Saint Mary's, around the corner from ULL and a favorite with the students. So, I waited until ULL was on their break for Christmas before heading over there to investigate the rumors that they make the best po-boy ever.

Despite the local University being closed for break, the place was still packed when I went with several co-workers the Friday before Christmas. I ordered their signature sandwich: the shrimp. The po-boy was definitely delicious, but Delancie's on Magazine in New Orleans still makes my favorite shrimp po-boy! Olde Time's sauce was great and so was the shrimp, however the bread was the texture of a bakery loaf of French Bread, than the po-boy French bread with a crunchy crust that I have been accustomed to with my po-boys.

Good po-boys and I will definitely go again!
