This cookbook pays homage to the Louisiana's beloved classic, a sandwich that captures the essence of the region's soulful cuisine. The Po'Boy is not merely a meal but a cultural symbol, born out of resilience during the Great Depression in New Orleans. In 1929, two brothers, Benny and Clovis Martin, former streetcar conductors, opened a sandwich shop in New Orleans. Witnessing the struggles of the striking streetcar drivers, affectionately known as "Poor Boys," the Martin brothers generously offered them free sandwiches. These sandwiches featured affordable ingredients like roast beef or fried seafood nestled within a French bread loaf. The Po'Boy's popularity quickly extended beyond the striking workers, captivating the hearts of locals and visitors alike. The term "Po'Boy" became synonymous with this sandwich, and today, it is celebrated worldwide with a myriad of flavors and fillings, making it a delectable and inclusive choice for any occasion. This cookbook stands as a tribute to the iconic Po'Boy sandwich and the vibrant culinary heritage of Louisiana.
