Roast Beef Po’Boy at Parkway Bakery & Tavern

Situated in Bayou St. John, this spot has been open since 1911.  The roast beef po’ boy (it’s called a “poor boy” here) comes doused in hot gravy, and is succulent, sloppy, and—to me—an utterly religious experience.  Most locals agree that this place is one of the New Orleans greats.
