NEW ORLEANS | Did Willie Mae’s Fried Chicken Drop from the #1 Spot? | Who's has the BEST Po-Boys?

Continuing with our New Orleans 24 hour adventure, we think we found the best Po-Boys in NOLA!
We finally checked out Willie Mae’s second location inside the Pythian Market Food Hall. But, is their famous fried chicken as good as the original location on St Ann St?
To end our adventure, let’s see what eats are in the new Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport.
Domilise Po-Boys, 5240 Annunciation St, New Orleans, LA 70115
Pythian Market, 234 Loyola Ave, Ste 100, New Orleans, LA 70112

[@billandlisa]

Hi Lynn! It's okay to be a silent subscriber, thanks so much for watching!

[@lucillegass4715]

From start to finsh, this was fascinating!!!!! You never fail!!love your honesty when you don't like something!! You two are simply adorable!

[@jillannedizon8525]

I'm so glad you guys did a video. My husband is in training about an hour and a half away from Nola and I was planning to visit him next month! Gave me some ideas on where to go and eat.

[@dingaling6661]

Lol just come up in my notifications. Cant wait to kids go bed and I'm sorted for a while. Love the videos you do big love from the UK

[@lellis9228]

I love it when you guys post your mini trips. Thanks for sharing….

[@conniekayelle]

I literally said a little "yay" to myself when I saw that you two posted a new video :) Thanks for the tips as always! Can't wait to visit NOLA myself one day!

[@diannem5775]

Always enjoy y’all ! I love Nola food it’s the best! Look forward to your next eating place!

[@chrisparker5415]

You two covered a lot in 24 hrs. Love your Nola videos.

[@cluca6787]

I’m so happy to see you guys finally gave a not so good review of a food place!! I know that sounds bad of me to say but I’m like sometimes every place can’t be that good.

[@akemikochan]

Love Bill calling it like it is. Love the honesty. Also, kind of found it funny when you said "It'll probably take your craving away" cuz that could mean either in a good way or bad way. Like after having it, it's so bad, you definitely won't want it again cuz I had that feeling when craving Krispy Kreme glazed for so long and tried to settle for store bought ones....don't do it.

[@jmbear628]

Nice. Heat in October, wow. So much to enjoy food wise there. Almost need to plan out your meals diring the trip and decide what to partake of in yumminess. Like watching many vlogs on the same eatery and get a good impresion of what to enjoy. I do not know where you get your energy from, but enjoy.

[@ylana4444]

Appreciate your honesty in your reviews! 👍🏼

[@DanVsWorld]

Always love the New Orleans series

[@michaellusk2856]

You guys are great! Always honest. Thank you.

[@rleyva40]

Yay!! Love these Nola vids!!

[@lisaanderson8235]

The flickering light from the fan is a free special effect!! 😁👍 I love how you two go to the local hole in the wall places and the fancy places. NOLA is such a good eating (and drinking) city!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@irenea7987]

Thank you sharing! Super excited to head to NOLA in February

[@kamienaughton5964]

That surf and turf looks absolutely amazing!

[@violanorkus9575]

Thank you Bill, and Lisa! Everything looked so delicious , and I felt I was right there on the adventure with you both, and enjoying the food. Yummy!!!😂👍

[@colleen113]

Bill , I think you are correct about the chicken. When you put fried chicken in a box it continues to release heat and steam. The steam has nowhere to go, thus making the crisp chicken skin return to a flabby mess.

[@karenglaicar5486]

Okay I am hungry now, nice video. Great info. Thanks and take care.

[@polarbear353]

I am a new subscriber and really enjoy your videos. You go to the cities I frequent on a regular basis. If you haven't already, the next time you're in New Orleans look for a group called Tuba Skinny, they are usually playing on or near Bourbon Street. Also, have you two been to Houston and San Antonio? Both places have very nice places to eat.

[@billandlisa]

Been to San Antonio, not yet for Houston.

[@TheJm129]

Excellent pro tip on opening treats...."bite it like a little monkey"!

[@bertchiu9265]

Too much fun! NOLA is a fun city … nice to see things are opening up again after the hurricane … thanks for sharing the PoBoyz!! 👍👍

[@DanVsWorld]

That French market looks cool can’t wait to see what it looks like open

[@pjcostales6682]

Making my first trip to Nola next week and your videos make me so excited for this adventure! 🙃

[@billandlisa]

Have fun!

[@shannonwiggins7798]

I just found your channel and I already love yall!! I've been binge watching on and off for about a week now. Any plans on coming to SC? Charleston has a great food scene

[@billandlisa]

Welcome to our channel! Hope to one day!

[@aprilcarter9631]

I consider myself a weekend warrior vacationer but you guys have me beat with your 24 hour stays!!!!

[@billandlisa]

Weekend Warriors come in all forms, we're sure you have visited some super fun places!

[@tanyaa7166]

Great getaway to New Orleans. Food as always looked amazing. Love you two.

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for watching our NOLA adventure, Tanya!

[@ginNjus]

Heater lamp chicken... ugh. Yep , OG place for sure..

[@michaelcatt1915]

Best po boy in Louisiana is actually in Lake Charles. It’s in a dive called Darrell’s and the sandwich is the Darrell’s Special. It’s Ham, Roast Beef and Turkey with lettuce, mustard and Mayo (they have regular mayo but you have to get the jalapeño mayo) with American, Swiss and provolone cheese with their roast beef gravy served on fresh bread that’s driven in from NOLA daily. Best sandwich I’ve ever had, anywhere. #IFYKYK

[@kamuzu]

Hyperbole.....

[@Monique_C.]

Thank you. Got a Screen shot of MURIEL' S.. That was my Mom's name.. 😍

[@sweetpea8091]

Enjoyed your video, your food choices were ones I would have picked as well. Love seafood and the food New Orleans is known for. Your reviews are always spot on and fun to watch. Safe travels Bill and Lisa...🛫✈

[@Christine_1075]

Drooling 🤤 Those Butter Beans…

[@gnexjeff]

Thankfully, the French Market was packed by the following week after your upload date. It was fantastic to see things "normal" again.

[@billandlisa]

That's great!

[@arlenedisneydreaming6816]

Loved following your NOLA adventures! The eats look so good. Hope one day to get out there. Safe travels home! ❤️

[@sheilakrepsky7740]

The po-boys looked great. I recommend trying Johnny’s Po-Boys if you have never tried them.

[@momonakokeshi6325]

Love surf and turf po boy especially the debris they gave you on the side. Even with many if the places closed, you still managed to do a lot. I look forward to your next adventure.

[@mare8371]

I love that you venture off the beaten path and try the “hole in the wall” places.

[@wendyscott6142]

Back in New Orleans one of your favorite places to travel . I’ve never been there but if I am able to some of the restaurants I would go to willie Mae cause of your videos

[@msavp4481]

Oh my gosh, I already had Domilises on my NOLA list…I cannot wait to try one of their shrimp po boys. Loved the video!

[@christianvicknair358]

Im from new orleans so glad yall got to visit

[@RobdaVegasMailman]

I'm originally from New Orleans. Seeing Domilise's instantly made my stomach and taste buds homesick. 21:16 I'm with Lisa regarding the gumbo. I like it best when the roux is thick and dark.

[@texadonkey34]

Awesome selection🍀😻. It’s oyster season, so I would of went nuts on Po-boys. Looks like fun guys thanks for the awesome review🤠🍀👍

[@NoBSEateries]

We are loving food halls. There is so many awesome spots that you can grab a bite and try a little bit of everything. -S

[@MisterWub]

Good of you both to go and support New Orleans so soon after that terrible hurricane. We were just there in may for our 2nd time. And thanks for the Willie Mae’s 2nd location review. I had a feeling it wouldn’t hold up to the original. Not sure if you mentioned it in this video, just wanting to know which place had your favorite Po Boy?

[@billandlisa]

We really enjoyed Domilise’s and Parkways.

[@MisterWub]

@@billandlisa Nice! Been to Parkway on both of my trips but never made it to Dom’s, but I do know it’s Emeril’s favorite. Next time we will try it for sure!

[@Christine_1075]

Yeah Been Waiting For Bill & Lisa😍

[@vegasvan2000]

Look what's on the menu at HiHo Cheeseburger on Admiralty Way in Marina Del Rey ... Willie Mae's of New Orleans Fried Chicken, HiHo Pickles, Organic Honey & Slaw Sauce and Purple Cabbage. Going to give it a try soon!

[@mimidaly1238]

Some of my favorite are MRB for chargrilled oysters and Leah's pralines. The bacon pecan brittle is the best!

[@spillthwinesfinds1244]

Man you are making me want to fly to NOLA and go to have a surf and turf po boy.. like right now! I live in Florida.

[@gloriawinbush1590]

🌞Good morning Bill & Lisa, have you ever eaten an muffuletta and if so - please give an review 🥰🤤😍. I,hope that you don't mind that I've been binge watching your vlogs- but you two are awesome and I'm, trying to catch up🤩. Wishing,you the best - thank you ❤️.

Hey I think Mark Wiens was there at the same time!! I just watched his latest video yesterday and he was in NOLA kinda same area , check out his video!!!

Pretty sure he was there before Hurricane Ida. He ate at Central Grocery, been closed since the hurricane.

Are you going to Tracey’s Original Irish Channel Bar, for their roast beef po boy?

[@billandlisa]

Thanks for the rec!

[@catherinelinder1389]

Loved the PoBoys.

[@francescasignorile6095]

Great video! I find chains like Willie Mays sometimes to not be consistent. I find that with KFC sometimes. Sometimes the chicken in certain places is saltier and lacks crispiness. So now we know if we are in New Orleans where to get the best chicken! Hugs from Ontario Canada!

[@Nest-Stuff9]

Willie Mae’s in New Orleans is not a chain restaurant.

[@Christine_1075]

That Shrimp Po Boy 🤤

[@vbmorris81]

The pizza place at the food court is really good.

The OG Is Consistent.

Please do a shootout in Carson., California Between Darrow’s New Orleans Grill and Orleans & York Deli Carson . The both have great Po Boy sandwich’s and Orleans favorites .

next time you go to nola stay at the historci street car inn that small hotel it is not far from the downtown is definitely haunted i stayed there in 2017

NOLA rules, and I hope to visit it one day.

No Muffaletta! That would make me cry!

[@lisawalkerblodgett3055]

I wonder how the poke’ is in the Pythian Market Food Hall? That’s an interesting placement for poke’, so I have to assume it’s excellent and fresh

[@billandlisa]

Wondering that too, we'll have to give it a try next time we go there.

[@flot5926]

I could go for a shrimp po-boy crawl! It was a little sad to see how slow everything is right now. Hope they recover soon.

The fried chicken look great I Food leveling

Have you guys tried the po boy at “the little jewel” in Chinatown? It’s a block west of Phillipes in downtown LA. I would love to see how it stacks up to this one in New Orleans.
