Anyone go to the po-boy fest? (New Orleans: live, price, food)

[miserylovesco.]

For being it's second year, I really think it could become a pretty big event.
We went yesterday and it was fun, albeit way crowded for narrow Oak street, but it was nice that everything was reasonable in terms of food price and drinks weren't insane either.

If they could just find a way to let it spill further up or something else, it would be even better.
I had Crawfish/spinach bowl and BBQ shrimp po boy and they were both fantastic. I'm absolutely a fan, and what made it even better is that I live on Oak, so all I had to do was walk down and never had to drive my car.

You live on Oak Street? A beautiful and historical enclave of Uptown New Orleans, a segment of the grit, grime, and artistry of the New Orleans of old. You are fortunate -- I hope you appreciate the city for what is, was, and what it potentially could be.

Edit: What po boy was your favorite? Who made it?

I vaguely remember hearing about it last year. I have some sisters who would positively drool thinking about the oyster po-boys there Do you know what kind of po-boy Mahoney's won with?

They call it "The Peacemaker" Fried Oysters with Bacon and Cheddar Cheese.
