The Philly Cheesesteak of New Orleans: The Muffuletta

We asked someone on the street where to go for a good (and reasonable) lunch. He directed us to the Central Grocery, which is the home of the muffuletta (I had never heard of this before today). I never would have walked into this place, it is so small and “hole-in-the-wall-ish.” But, wow. What a great lunch! If you get a chance, check it out!
Central Grocery
Very narrow store. This is almost the entire width.
Central Grocery
A local favorite (and later I found out it is mentioned in many guides to New Orleans).
Central Grocery
Bragging rights as originator of the muffuletta sandwich.
Central Grocery
The sandwich is about 10 inches in diameter.

That sandwich was shared by 4 people (just so you get a bit of perspective on the size!)
