Reviews
"Perfect subject matter! Ain't many topics as near and dear to me as sandwiches, and few things soothe my soul like a dressed shrimp or oyster po'boy with some hot sauce and a cold beer on a sunny day in New Orleans!"" - Chef Mason Hereford, coauthor of Turkey and the Wolf: Flavor Trippin in New Orleans ""Who knew that so much delicious history could be contained in a single sandwich? Burke Bischoff's deep dive into New Orleans's ubiquitous poor boy loaf examines the working man's sandwich from all angles: the history, the ingredients, and that most vital element, the poor boy bread. Any lover of New Orleans food will find much delight between these pages."" - Poppy Tooker, author of Louisiana Eats! The People, the Food, and Their Stories ""With this book we discover that each bite of the beloved New Orleans sandwich is a bite of local history."" - Peggy Scott Laborde, coauthor of Lost Restaurants of New Orleans ""As a fan of culinary history, I recommend Burke Bischoff's book in which he describes, in detail, New Orleans's legendary poor boy sandwiches. My mouth was watering while reading the book. I have great memories of enjoying gravy-drenched beef poor boys and piping hot, crispy fried-oyster poor boys (my personal favorites) when I lived in New Orleans."" - Marcelle Bienvenu, coauthor of Stir the Pot: The History of Cajun Cuisine"
