This is a great sandwich but it is not a Muffuletta. By the way, the correct spelling is Muffuletta.

ok start with the nice thing first, his meats and cheeses and over all sandwich look and sound amazingly tastey with that said though, it's alot different from a muffaletta, it's like a grill cheese and a meatball sub both good sandwiches but they arent the same, final thing and most important is, who the hell are those guys and why is he throwing down with them and not central grocery the people who made it famous and brought it to new orleans, hell they're in wiki when you look up the sandich

Enjoyed this episode...read through the reviews and quite frankly am astounded by some of the ....juvenile...post. To me,...the preparation and enjoyment of great food is a high art-form. This man's recipe is merely HIS interpretation of a what?....an Italian birthed sandwich FOUND in New Orleans? Take a deep breath, pour yourself a glass of wine,....and just enjoy some good food.....

This sandwich is delicious! TRY IT! It makes for a perfect picnic sandwich as you can wrap it well in foil, place it in a plastic zip top bag and throw it in the cooler. The longer it waits, the better it gets!
As for the previous reviewers: It is what it is. No one claimed to be making "the original" muffuletta. Some people need to get off their high horse and get a little more joy out of life.

I agree that Bobby's sandwich is very good, but not authentic. He never claimed that it was. He called it a "Spanish-Style Muffaletta" on Throwdown. GOOD NEWS: the recipe for the original sandwich from Century Grocery in New Orleans does exist (along with several Emeril "kicked-up" versions on this site, but under the spelling "Muffuletta". Who knows what the correct spelling is, (I certainly don't but check out the recipes under both spellings. There are slight variations and all I've tried are good. And just for the record, you'll find just as many variations of this beloved sandwich in The Big Easy itself. Just snack your way along Bourbon Street.

I had never heard of Muffaletta before, so I tried three recipes to see which one I liked best. This was the absolute winner. Loved it.

I've been to New Orleans and have had the muffaletta. It instantly became my all time favorite sandwich. It needs no mayo, sugar, vinegar...just some really good olive salad and of course good bread, provalone and meats. Why is there no simple recipe on this website for it? I bought a New Orleans cook book while down there and thankfully have it. Just surprised it's not on here. Emeril should have had it on here!

Actually a great sandwich, but definitely not a true Muffaletta. Too bad the site doesn't include the competitors recipes as well. Made it with a loaf of ciabatta (great for soaking in the juice of the "salad" Definitely way too much "salad" for one sandwich. It is of course the "salad" in this recipe that takes this far from being close to a true to the original. I'm thinking of using this great leftover dressing to make some potato salad!

Why makes a regional chef think that he can completely change a classic recipe from another part of the country and still call it by it's original name? The "Muff" is a New Orleans staple. If you wish to change it, go ahead...but this is not a Muff. Bobby, stick to what you do best; copying southwest cooking.

This guy is an arrogant idiot to call this a muffaletta. A muff is a TRADITIONAL Italian sandwich. Bobby, make your silly sandwich, but don't you DARE call it a muffaletta. As a New Orleans native I'm insulted and offended.
