poboys
New Orleans subs
Poboys is the plural of poboy, a Louisiana sandwich served on a long French bread loaf, typically filled with fried seafood like shrimp or oysters, or with roast beef and gravy.
The name likely comes from "poor boy"—a cheap, filling meal.
Also spelled po'boys or po-boys.
We grabbed poboys from a shop in the French Quarter.
