For those enamored of the "French" bread of the NO poboys places, it's not French @ all. The original loaves in NO were made by German bakers @ on old bakery(can't remember the name, but they were the biggest producer for over 100 years).
I did not know that about the original breads for po' boys. Fascinating. I did a little searching and I think you are referring to Leidenheimer Baking Co.? Since 1896! They are german, but it does say on their site that the loafs are French style.
