Notes: Po' Boy sandwiches originated around 1929 when they were handed out from a New Orleans French restaurant to striking streetcar conductors. Supposedly, after they lost their negotiations, the sympathetic restaurateur would say "Po' boy," when he gave this sandwich to a despondent streetcar worker. Gigi loves them especially when I find the best baguettes. The bread is the real star in a Po' Boy. Do your utmost to find really good bread, with a crackling crust and soft interior. Without good bread, a Po' Boy is pretty po’.
