I haven't written a post in many months, and for that I apologize. I plan on writing a series of posts reviewing varying New Orleans restaurants which I've been to, in no particular order, but considering the number I've been to in the past four years, I should never run out of topics to write about. Also, in order of events I've missed, WHODAT, Throw me somethin' Mister, and Happy Jazz Fest to y'all!
Concerning the post title, "The Striking Poboy", it is common knowledge in New Orleans that the poboy was invented as a cheap sandwich to feed striking streetcar conductors. What was lesser known is that the two brothers who invented the poboy and fed it to the striking workers were former union members themselves of the conductor's union, the Martin boys. I just ran across a Salon.com article with a copy of the original letter in support written by the Martins to the striking workers and thought I should also share.
Vive la po'boy!
