Jersey Mike's coming to Da Metrys...

I've never had Jersey Mike's and I've never even heard of Lenny's. I also haven't had Firehouse as well. Jimmy Johns was a complete letdown the one time I went there. Too much bread and not enough meats and cheese. If I go to Subway, gotta get meatball marinara. I'm not sure if they're open anymore but Randazzo's off service road near Clearview made excellent po-boys. Softshell crab was awesome and I liked the eggplant parm. So I guess I'd go with Randazzo's. Short stop is also good but I probably only ate there once a decade ago so I don't remember it.

The one word that comes to mind when i think of Jimmy John’s is ‘dry’.. i just feel like everything ive ever gotten there was really dry, maybe i didnt get enough oil and vinegar.. that said, id frequent them quite a bit in the 10 yrs i lived in Houston, b/c in a pinch it was super-fast, cheap and again, slightly healthier than most fast food (a low bar).. ive been to Lenny’s when i was a medical device rep and would bring lunches for offices but never actually tried their sandwiches myself .. My go-to poboy place in suburban NOLA is Radosta’s , sorry if im repeating myself cause i feel like I’ve mentioned this recently- but i was just there a couple weeks ago and got my favorite, the hot sausage poboy, which is the hottest thing ive ever eaten in my life.. but it also tastes really good.. i used to love Schmitty’s in Kenna, their fried shrimp poboy was overflowing w/tasty shrimp, but havent been there in so long im not sure if i can still recommend it .. when in NOLA proper, of course u cant go wrong with Parkway, and i like Guy’s Poboys on Magazine by the Park (id stop there almost weekly wehn i lived around there a couple years back).. and further down Magazine near the Warehouse i like Mahony’s, but man they shouldnt call them poboys b/c id get a large shrimp poboy and by itself it was $18.. today it probably costs $25 .
