About this listen

 Welcome to a cookbook dedicated to the world of Po'Boy sandwiches! A culinary icon of Louisiana, this classic sandwich is a beloved staple that embodies the soulful spirit of the region. The Po'Boy sandwich is not just a meal, but a cultural symbol of the working-class that originated in New Orleans during the Great Depression.

The history of the Po’Boy begins in 1929 when two brothers, Benny and Clovis Martin, who were former streetcar conductors, opened a sandwich shop in New Orleans, Louisiana. They noticed that the striking streetcar drivers, also known as "Poor Boys," were struggling to make ends meet during the streetcar strike. The Martin brothers, being empathetic to their cause, started offering them free sandwiches to help them out. These sandwiches were made using inexpensive ingredients such as roast beef or fried seafood on French bread.

Soon, the sandwiches gained popularity not only among the striking workers but also among the general public, and the name "Po'Boy" became a common term for the sandwich. Today, the Po'Boy sandwich is enjoyed all over the world and comes in a variety of flavors and fillings, making it a delicious and accessible option for any occasion.

This cookbook is dedicated to celebrating this iconic sandwich and the rich cultural heritage of Louisiana cuisine, offering recipes that are both traditional and innovative, and showcasing the versatility and flavors of the Po'Boy. Food & Wine Cooking Oil
