The Perfect Burger in Poboy Town

There is no one reason why Camellia Grill may have the best burger in town. Maybe its because food just tastes better when you are sitting on a stool at an old fashioned lunch counter. Maybe its because when you order the burger they don't ask how you would like it cooked; they just cook it perfect everytime. Or maybe its the simple combination of a little mayo, lettuce and grilled onions along with perfectly golden fries and a chocolate freeze (milkshake) that make you realize you just can't get this anywhere else in the city. This is the way I believe hamburgers were meant to be enjoyed. Ask a local for a good place to eat a poboy and they will rattle off at least two or three "can't miss" places right off the top of their head. Ask the same local for a place to find a good hamburger and you may see a whole lot of thinking. Let's face it, New Orleans isn't a burger town. We've made our mark on sandwich history with the poboy. It's uniquely ours, it's who we are and quite frankly you just can't find bread like that anywhere else in the world. But there is something simply satisfying about sitting down to a good hamburger in the right environment. It's all american and all delicious.
