New Orleans
Tucked behind the slightly more formal Cochon, this sandwich and meat shop calls itself a ‘swine bar and deli.’ We call it one of our favorite sandwich shops in the city, if not the South. From the convivial lunch crowds to the savory sandwiches to the fun-loving cocktails, this welcoming place encapsulates the best of New Orleans.
All sandwiches are great; we love the pork belly and mint and the smoked turkey and avocado. Note: the entrance is on Andrew Higgins Dr.
