Pain du France!

We wouldn't be New Orleans if we ate that nasty stuff they make at Subway... :-)

the hole in that loaf is from where my thumb squeezed too hard. That's a good sign for a loaf of french bread. What they make at the grocery store or that nasty sandwich chain isn't "proofed" properly. La Louisiane Bakery is doing it right, just like Zip bread or Binder's. La Louisiane is a service bakery for Maurice's in Metairie, and they were able to get back up and running a lot faster than their competition. So far, I've had a po-boy at Radosta's in Metairie, cap bread at Maple Cafe', and tonight I picked up a loaf of their bread at Zuppardo's on Veterans.

It was pretty good, and made a great complement to the sirloin I grilled.

Here's the label:
