Some of my favorite New Orleans sandwiches from Central Grocery, Casamento’s, and Parkway Bakery and Tavern.

I just finished granola & yogurt–these look like a serious improvement on that! Making me so hungry. I do love fried things. And salty layers of meat, cheese, and olive salad. You and I made some pretty good muffs, as I recall.
Central Grocery is a required stop before guests arrive at my home in New Orleans. We love serving the muffulettas toasted in the oven with the cheese melted! At other times we pick up a jar of their olive salad and serve a delicious muffuletta pasta salad.
Donna, we did make some good muffs, thanks to good olive salad from Central Grocery.
JULIET, anyone would be lucky to be invited to your house, much less a stop at Central Grocery along the way!
