Good Eats!

My bestie and I have recently discovered that you don’t have to travel to the heart of the city to find an amazing restaurant.  There are plenty of yummy delights in your own backyard.

We stumbled upon our newest fave hot spot because my friend and I simply couldn’t fathom travelling all the way downtown for lunch on one of the hottest days of the year.  So we decided to avoid the congestion of the city, and check out a spot that was a little closer to home.

We both had no idea where to eat, but agreed on a location and we’d take it from there.  As soon as I stepped out of the subway station, I saw the words “Po Boys”.  I was enthralled (psssst- I looooove anything bbq or creole, basically any food from the south).  So when I met up with my friend I told her that we should check it out.  She laughed and said that while she was waiting for me to arrive; she already looked at the menu on the door and decided what she wanted to eat!  LOL!  Gotta love my girl!

The restaurant was quaint and fortunately not crowded.  I perused the menu and had trouble deciding what to get. Honestly, everything looked delish.  After much debate, I settled on getting a blackened catfish po boy with sweet potato fries.

Note- this is not a pic of the po boy I ordered.  It was taken from the restaurant's website.

 

Twenty minutes later my meal was placed in front of me. I sunk my teeth into the sandwich and I swear a tear flowed from my eye!  The po boy was incredibly flavourful.   The catfish was nicely seasoned, tasted great and wasn’t too spicy.  The fish was fantastic, but the flavour was kicked up a notch with spoonfuls of creamy garlicky sauce smeared all over the crusty French bread.  I loooooove this po boy! 

My meal was accompanied with thinly cut sweet potato fries which were also mouth-wateringly good.  They were crispy and not greasy.

We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals (no crumbs were left on our plates!) and the service.  I highly recommend anyone looking for a tasty po boy sandwich to visit this restaurant.  Don’t forget to let me know what you think!  Enjoy!
