Johnny - Awaiting Orders

$13,500. Doesn’t sound like a lot of money today. But on June 30th, 1950 it was enough to buy the building at 511 St. Louis St. in New Orleans by Johnny and Betty De Grusha. Today, Johnny’s Po-boys is the oldest family owned po-boy restaurant in New Orleans, Serving everything from breakfast to their famous warm bun po-boys. They have received Accolades from some of the finest institutions in the country, ranging from Good Housekeeping’s top 100 value restaurants in the United States, to Rand McNally’s Best of the Road.

NoMenu Write Up – Johnny’s #1!!!!

http://www.nomenu.com/joomla1/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=5018&Itemid=393 That roast beef sandwiches should be such an icon in New Orleans eating seems strange, given where we live. It’s another proof that we are general masters of cooking and eating, not limited to a small range of ingredients and flavors as other places are.
