po'boys
New Orleans hoagie
Po'boys are Louisiana sandwiches made on crusty French bread, typically filled with fried seafood like shrimp or oysters, though roast beef versions are common.
The name derives from "poor boys"—the sandwiches were cheap, filling meals for workers.
I had a shrimp po'boy at a place near the French Quarter.
