On Sunday (11.23) New Orleanians took the debate over the city's best po-boy into the street. Oak Street, that is. At the annual Oak Street Po-Boy Fest, over 40 chefs served up their sandwiches to the masses. NoDef's Dr. Bill Copen was on hand to capture the sights at the scene.

Mahony’s Po-Boy Shop cooks up a long Short Rib Po Boy (Abita Braised short ribs with garlic mayo, arugula, tomato, and fried onion rings.) Later the big bread would be cut into smaller po-boys. Mahony's would win "Best Beef PoBoy."
