This isn’t just some spin on an Italian Cold Cut, the Muffuletta is THE sandwich of the French Quarter of New Orleans, a decadent concoction of olive spread and assorted meats and cheeses, on the truly unique sesame bread. If you are ever in New Orleans, swing by Central Grocery to try the iconic original, you won’t regret it.
