LUNCHEONETTE.

NO MATTER WHERE YOU CELEBRATE OR WHAT YOU CALL IT, THAT TUESDAY, THIS IS A DAY CELEBRATED BY EATING AND LOTS OF IT.

TALKING THAT ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED CAJUN CREOLE FOODS IN HYDE PARK AND A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE PO'BOY.

>> A PO'BOY IS A SANDWICH BORN OUT OF NEW ORLEANS .

IT'S A SANDWICH THAT'S PREDOMINANTLY MEAT, THESE DAYS .

MY FIRST ONE WAS A FRENCH FRY PO'BOY.

IT'S HARD TO NAIL DOWN THE EXACT ORIGIN OF THE NAME, PO'BOY , BUT THIS WAS A HISTORIC RESTAURANT IN NEW ORLEANS AND WORKERS WOULD WALK TO GET SOMETHING TO EAT AND IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, IT WAS DURING A STRIKE AND THEY WOULD YELL, "TRAN03 COMING UP."

WE HAVE SHRIMP, ALLIGATOR , WE HAVE THIS VERSION OF IT.

THESE DAYS , SOME OF THESE RESTAURANTS HAVE DECIDED TO DEFINED AS SOMETHING DIFFERENT, BUT IT WAS ORIGINALLY LETTUCE AND TOMATO AND ONION.

THESE CAME FROM MY LATE AUNT .

SHE MARRIED A NEW ORLEANS MAN AND WE JUST THOUGHT , YOU KNOW, WHAT A BEAUTIFUL WAY TO PAY TRIBUTE TO THIS FOOD THAT IS FAST AND FESTIVE.

FOR THE MARDI GRAS SEASON.

WE PLAN ON BEING PART OF THE RESTAURANT
