I first discovered Po'boys watching shows like Diners, Drive-ine & Dives ( http://www.foodnetwork.com/shows/diners-drive-ins-and-dives.html) or Man v Food (http://www.travelchannel.com/shows/man-v-food) Since then I've eaten them in Pat O'Briens at Universal City Walk (www.patobriens.com) and Lola's Louisiana Kitchen in Las Vegas (www.lolaslasvegas.com) Both places were amazing and I was so so chuffed to discover somewhere in Dublin was doing them. So with that in mind I dragged my fiancé to Ugly Duckling (www.uglyduckingdublin.com) in the Epicurean Hall on Middle Abbey Street (across from Arnotts) I think they're also open in George's Street Arcade.
Here's the menu
Looks good right? I wanted to change to chicken and waffles but I went there for the po'boy so that's what I got. I did order it without tomato but there it is on my bread. It was easily picked off so no biggie.
It's a big sandwich. I had to eat some of the prawns (or shrimp?) off before cutting it in half getting "the hunch" on :)
The sandwich is made up of Cajun Creole Tiger Prawns, lettuce and a sauce with a serious kick on Ciabatta.
In my view this is a great attempt at a Po'boy!!!
It's v v nice to see it on this side of the pond... Give it a go :)
