Po' boy

A Po' boy is a traditional sandwich from New Orleans, made with French bread that’s crusty on the outside and soft inside. It typically features fillings such as fried seafood (like shrimp or oysters), roast beef, or other meats, layered with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and mayonnaise. The sandwich’s name comes from "poor boys," referencing working-class street vendors in the early 20th century. Known for hearty, flavorful ingredients and regional character, Po' boys are a staple of Louisiana cuisine and celebrate local culinary traditions.
