“Makes you want to spend a week—immediately—in New Orleans.” —Jeffrey A. Trachtenberg, Wall Street Journal A cocktail is more than a segue to dinner when it’s a Sazerac, an anise-laced drink of rye whiskey and bitters indigenous to New Orleans. For Wisconsin native Sara Roahen, a Sazerac is also a fine accompaniment to raw oysters, a looking glass into the cocktail culture of her own family—and one more way to gain a foothold in her beloved adopted city. Roahen’s stories of personal discovery introduce readers to New Orleans’ well-known signatures—gumbo, po-boys, red beans and rice—and its lesser-known gems: the pho of its Vietnamese immigrants, the braciolone of its Sicilians, and the ya-ka-mein of its street culture. By eating and cooking her way through a place as unique and unexpected as its infamous turducken, Roahen finds a home. And then Katrina. With humor, poignancy, and hope, she conjures up a city that reveled in its food traditions before the storm—and in many ways has been saved by them since.

Welcome to a culinary journey dedicated to the renowned Po'Boy sandwiches! This cookbook pays homage to the Louisiana's beloved classic, a sandwich that captures the essence of the region's soulful cuisine. The Po'Boy is not merely a meal but a cultural symbol, born out of resilience during the Great Depression in New Orleans. In 1929, two brothers, Benny and Clovis Martin, former streetcar conductors, opened a sandwich shop in New Orleans. Witnessing the struggles of the striking streetcar drivers, affectionately known as "Poor Boys," the Martin brothers generously offered them free sandwiches. These sandwiches featured affordable ingredients like roast beef or fried seafood nestled within a French bread loaf. The Po'Boy's popularity quickly extended beyond the striking workers, captivating the hearts of locals and visitors alike. The term "Po'Boy" became synonymous with this sandwich, and today, it is celebrated worldwide with a myriad of flavors and fillings, making it a delectable and inclusive choice for any occasion. This cookbook stands as a tribute to the iconic Po'Boy sandwich and the vibrant culinary heritage of Louisiana. It presents a collection of recipes that honor tradition while embracing innovation, showcasing the versatility and captivating flavors of this beloved sandwich.
