WHERE TO EAT The best Muffuletta in the world (according to food experts)
1
Recommended by Jane & Michael Stern and 11 other food critics.
"In our opinion, this mighty muffuletta (available as a half sandwich for puny appetites) is definitive. Yes, other restaurants now make fatter ones on artisan breads with more exotic cold cuts and fancier ingredients in the olive salad, but this big fella has a classic dignity that simply cannot be bettered."

"Then there’s Cochon Butcher, whose house-cured meats form the basis of what may be our new favorite ‘letta. Okay it is. There, we said it."

"Take Verti Marte, for instance, a takeout deli in the French Quarter that’s open 24 hours a day, so you call out for a bottle of bourbon, a muffuletta sandwich, and a carton of Parliaments at 4 a.m., and they’ll deliver."

"The Most Amazing Muffulettas in the Big Easy: DiMartino's - Its muffuletta is mostly traditional, though served just hot enough to get the cheese perfectly melty without becoming gloppy or sweaty (which can ruin the whole affair). Unlike some places, DiMartino’s never skimps on its homemade chunky olive salad."

"The 31 Best Sandwich Shops in America: Blues City Deli - New Orleans gets a run for its money thanks to the massive muffuletta, which pair beautifully with the constant 12-bar soundtrack, which includes live music some nights."

"Everything there is authentic and delicious, but what you absolutely have to try is the muffaletta. Hands down the best in Baton Rouge, this hot-pressed monster is loaded with fine meats, cheeses, and an olive salad you can’t walk away from."
