In a city that's po-boy proud, Liuzza's at the Track stands out from the crowd, thanks to the house specialty, a buttery, Worcestershire-fueled gi-normous portion of gulf shrimp slathered between a hot and crusty French pistolette. It's called barbecue shrimp, but there's really nothing barbecued about it. Save room for the gumbo - Liuzza's recipe includes seafood, local sausage, 13 spices and a few secret ingredients. The fried eggplant dusted with powdered sugar and served with a side of marinara is a house specialty. Anytime of day, nothing beats a seat at the bar, a bowl of gumbo and a cold beer at this hole in the wall joint.
