I knew there would be partisans, but when I tweeted a question about which New Orleans sandwiches would belong in a theoretical Sandwich Hall of Fame, it took just minutes for my friend Pableaux to fire back: "Hall of Fame? The whole TOWN's a sandwich hall of fame!"
And, well, I can understand his righteous indignation. This is a hell of a sandwich town. The king, of course, is the once-humble po' boy, that torpedo of goodness barely contained by crisp, fluffy bread. Southern Italians invented the muffuletta, with its salamis and cheeses and chunky, lusciously oily olive salad. Then there are the oyster loaves, Vietnamese po' boys ... I mean, look: the typologies are strong.
