New Orleans comes to RiNo with Pirate Alley Po’Boys

When fancy, sit-down lunch service wasn’t working at his southern restaurant Julep, chef/co-owner Kyle Foster did what we think anyone with any sort of problem should do: Make some po’boys.

“We’ve always loved New Orleans, and we were looking for something fast-casual, easy and quick,” Foster said.

Foster went to New Orleans for research (tough job) and started testing recipes as soon as he returned. The result is Pirate Alley Po’Boys, a lunch-only operation inside Julep with a $10-12 tight menu of three po’boys, a salad and pirate pockets.

Just what exactly is a pirate pocket, you ask? Think super-fried, slightly sweet fritter pocket stuffed with trotter and Tasso ham gumbo. If you’ve ever tasted anything like this before, well then you’re a true food hero and you should be very proud.

The trio of po’boy options are roast beef with sweet potato chips and gravy, fried shrimp with pickled green tomato and smoked turkey with celery slaw and smoked grapes. All come wet with remoulade.

Pirate Alley Po’Boys at Julep will begin serving on Feb. 6. The fast-casual lunch will be available at the bar (and for takeout) Wednesday through Friday, from 11 a.m. until whenever they run out of food.

Pirate Alley Po’Boys at Julep: 3258 Larimer St., Denver, 303-295-8977; juleprino.com; Wed.-Fri. 11 a.m.
