Chateau Orleans Po-Boys, Marrero, LA Report #485

I was in the mood for a shrimp po-boy. I live on the WestBank of New Orleans, and I knew traffic crossing the bridge to the EastBank would be terrible, so I started searching for a place to get one on my side of the river. I discovered this place. The name caught my eye,…

Coffee &, Marrero, LA Report #478

Marrero is located just south of New Orleans, on the WestBank of the Mississippi River. I live in the part of New Orleans that’s on the Westbank (called Algiers), so it’s not far from my house at all. I’ve seen this place several times, and always thought it was just a little donut shop. Well,…
