What Makes A Sandwich A Po Boy?
A Po Boy is a sandwich originating from New Orleans, Louisiana, typically made with French bread and filled with meat or seafood, lettuce, tomato, and a special sauce, such as remoulade. It is typically served on a long, crusty roll and may also include pickles, onions, and hot sauce. The sandwich is traditionally associated with the Louisiana cuisine, and the name “Po Boy” is believed to have come from a nickname given to striking workers who were given free sandwiches from a restaurant owner, who said they were “poor boys.”
