Domilise's Po-Boy and Bar is a New Orleans restaurant famous for its po-boy sandwiches. The restaurant was founded in the 1930s by the Domilise family who lived in the house above the single room bar / dining area, and run by Sam and Dorothy “Miss Dot” Domilise for over seventy five years until her death in 2013.[2] [3] The restaurant was closed during hurricane Katrina while the family evacuated to Alabama and Franklin, LA.[4]
The interior of the restaurant features photos of famous visitors, memorabilia and has a bar in addition to the six tables. The restaurant has been featured in many cooking shows and guide books, such as Adam Richman's Best Sandwich in America, Sandwiches That You Will Like, Food Wars, and Chowdown Countdown.
