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

The People, the Food, and Their Stories

"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.
