Between the Bread

I promised myself I'd stop posting my boring old turkey sammitch lunches, but this one was such a surprise success: turkey and Swiss with fresh basil leaves, pumpkin butter, and sliced Bacon avocado gifted to me by Lauren. I forget how great basil is on sandwiches, and the pumpkin is a welcome change.

New Orleans is one of the great sandwich cities, rivaled perhaps only by Philadelphia. Though it lays claim to just two iconic sammies — the po'boy and the muffuletta — both are transcendent, and the po'boy comes in so many varieties that it's pretty much a category of its own. In honor of Mardi Gras, take a 'wich trip through New Orleans's sandwich history.

Meanwhile, I'm going to New Orleans again in April, so if anyone has any recommendations, please share. I haven't been to Parkway, so that might be on my list.
