| - My few visits to New Orleans were back before the flood, but included some of my more cherished culinary experiences. One of those really great experiences was chawin' down an oyster po'boy, which I haven't tasted or heard of since.
So today, I greatly relished the experience again with gusto at PoBoys Diner, new place on 50th and McLeod. The place is casual but very new and clean. The menu has a lot of Cajun/Creole dishes, but I had to have that Oyster PoBoy and glad I did. The oysters were nicely fried and all the sandwich fixings fresh and tasty. Washed it down with a nice pale ale served by John the convivial native Louisianian bartender.
Then just to cap it off, I was surprised with a lagniappe!! Yeah, look that one up, a real Louisiana ticket. In this case it was a single hot beignet, Delicious, just like being at Cafe du Monde.
So a number of things I don't know where else you would find in Calgary, Oyster Poboy, Beignets, and a Lagniappe (maybe those will catch on here).
Pricewise, far less expensive than travel and american exchange..
