	Welcome to the Best of New Orleans! Restaurant Review 03 12 02
		As soon as my bills were in the register she fetched a handful of shrimp, rubbed them in a pan of yellowish grains and then palmed them like she was packing a snowball; she dropped the sticky mass into the fryer and only looked back when an internal timer told her to.
		I can't say the sandwich was made with love, but she was right: At the end of the week, the unusually crunchy and lightly fried shrimp, set between squishy po-boy bread with a slather of mayo and pickles, were some of the friendliest specimens I had encountered at St. Roch.
		On Thursday at St. Roch, I noticed the stubby bottom halves of those columns, which are now cut off by a low ceiling.
